The STUFF of History is an integrated course activity that combines the knowledge, skills, and attitudes of materials science and history of technology. The term “integrated” applies to every aspect of this course: both instructors are present at (nearly) all times; both instructors assess every major assignment jointly; every major assignment contains elements from both portions of this course; and you receive one grade for all eight credits. We think that that this integration comes very naturally: the subjects complement one another and the use of two perspectives produces a deep, provocative understanding.

Gauging Gender: A Metaphysics, Stephen Asma Nov 2011

Gauging Gender: A Metaphysics, Stephen Asma

Stephen T Asma

In this article the author discusses sex and gender in human beings and examines how the study of science, particularly biology, has influenced the study of these subjects in higher education. It traces the evolution of sex and gender studies in academe, comments on the failure of many humanities scholars to dismiss biology in studying human behavior, and explores ways in which psychoanalysis, social constructionism, and metaphysics have informed the debate over the differences between sex and gender. Other topics include research conducted by Anne Fausto-Sterling regarding intersexed people, scientific tests focusing on sexual preference in rats, and thoughts by …

Fall 2010 Ahse 1100: History Of Technology: A Cultural And Contextual Approach: Course Materials: Evidence Handout 2010, Robert Martello

Robert Martello

This course operates on three levels of inquiry and exploration. In the most detailed sense, we look at several major History of Technology themes, such as Technological Systems, Technology and Culture, and Technology and the Environment. We address larger historical questions, such as the interpretation of evidence and the combination of analysis and narrative. Finally, we conduct writing, presentation, creativity, and analysis exercises that contribute to competencies such as communication and contextual understanding.

Risen Apes And Fallen Angels: The New Museology Of Human Origins, Stephen Asma Mar 2011

Risen Apes And Fallen Angels: The New Museology Of Human Origins, Stephen Asma

Stephen T Asma

There has been a little explosion of "origin" exhibitions in the past few years. The recent bicentennial of Darwin's birth, in 2009, ushered in a bevy of traveling exhibitions and events. Grandscale permanent exhibitions have recently opened at the American Museum of Natural History (the Spitzer Hall of Human Origins) in New York, and the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History (the David H. Koch Hall of Human Origins) in Washington, D.C. A new museology is afoot, and some of the recent changes are worth tracking. And let's not forget the recently opened Creation Museum in Petersburg, Kentucky. Even in …

The New Atheists' Narrow World-View, Stephen Asma Jan 2011

The New Atheists' Narrow World-View, Stephen Asma

Stephen T Asma

The article discusses atheism, Buddhism, and the practice of animism in southeast Asia. Atheists such as Christopher Hitchens and Sam Harris are discussed as is the argument regarding the "provincialism" of religion. It is noted that some atheists echo the statement by philosopher Karl Marx that religion is an opiate that should be done away with because it has little moral value. The use of spirit houses as a part of religious practice in southeast Asia is described. The opinion held by theists on animism is explored. Other topics include living conditions in Cambodia and the role of religion in …
