STS 1121
FWS: Gender and Science

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2015-2016.

Why do so many women and minority students drop out of STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) fields? Is this true at Cornell, the Alma Mater of so many top-ranked scientists (including Nobelist Barbara McClintock)? This course seeks to investigate this topic with a variety of projects and writing assignments that build from class descriptions and analyses of majors to the final research paper. Possibly using Cornell's own University archives.

When Offered Spring.
