Undergraduate STS Fellows

In 2022, the STS Program launched the Undergraduate Fellowship. It is a year-long opportunity for students at Harvard College to reflect on the social and political roles of science and technology in the contemporary world through foundational exposure to the discipline of STS. The cohort meets weekly to discuss emerging challenges and controversies across modern societies, guided by graduate Fellows and a Harvard STS crib sheet of core concepts. An early version of this crib sheet was developed for the 2020 undergraduate course Engineering Sciences (ES) 28 Science, Technology and Society, where students learned about the relationships between science, technology, ethics, and politics in part through real-time projects about the COVID-19 pandemic.

The STS Undergraduate Fellowship is generously supported by the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs.
