Science in a Changing World

The Graduate Program in Critical and Creative Thinking at UMass Boston now
offers a track/emphasis on science (especially the life and environmental
sciences) in the context of conceptual development and of social change,
http://www.cct.umb.edu/SICW.html

This emphasis/track within the 15 credit graduate certificate and 33 credit M.A.
program of studies is designed for educators and other concerned citizens who
want to explore the relationships among new developments in scientific
knowledge, in education, and in society.  Innovative and inspiring instructors
arrange course material, classroom activities, teaching/learning interactions
that provide students an opportunity to learn about science in its social
context; to gain a set of models for their own educational or activist work; to
discuss practices and philosophies of education and social change; and to
undertake research with a view to engaging with science in a changing world.

The certificate and M.A. can be completed at a distance by a combination of
online courses and participation in regular classes at a distance.
