So interesting! There aren’t really mandatory readings for this class, everything is covered in the lectures. I think this is a really important class in general to take cause science is so essential to our lives and how we come to know things. Much of the class is framed around pseudoscience and wacky documentaries so that added a lot of fun to the course material. Things covered included how to separate science from pseudoscience, feminist epistemology and standpoint epistemology, kant’s transcendental idealism, values-based science, the indispensability argument, and some basic metaphysics and philosophy of maths (e.g. are numbers real?). the lectures were very interactive and discursive too which was a plus, though the tutorials from what I could gather were fairly loosely structured. Very good class.
