This pathway encourages students to evaluate and understand the sciences through a humanistic lens, and to consider questions such as:

  • How can the sciences be understood in their broader historical, social, and ethical contexts?
  • What is the relationship between science and values (in the past and the present)?
  • How were scientific methods and approaches developed and why?
  • How have claims about what is ’natural’ been used to defend or undermine value statements?
