OSPBER 67: Human Medical Research: Design and Ethics, a focus on Women's Health

Human treatment has evolved through experimentation. Ideas to influence nature's course to accelerate healing which were initially promulgated through anecdotal accounts are now rigorously tested in scientifically designed studies. In this seminar, we will explore the dual role of the investigator, to translate scientific questions into experiments and to consider the potential moral implications of the experiment. In weekly, two-session seminars, we will use published research studies to explore whether the theoretical constructs underlying the proposal are scientifically grounded and which ethical issues might be involved.

OSPBER 73: CyberKant: a User Interface

We take online traffic for granted. It is well known that readily intelligible navigation of today's virtual surround was made possible by the graphical user interface. This driver of digital literacy, famously associated with Xerox PARC, was popularized by Steve Jobs in the 1980s. Less well known is that the visual vocabulary informing our computational practices first developed with the urban sprawl of Berlin. Kantian philosophy and German High Modernism played a key role in the process. These cultural resources advanced a workable template for the user-friendly conceit of intuitive signage and wayfinding. We will visit sites across the city that speak to this historical legacy.
Terms: Spr | Units: 3 | UG Reqs: WAY-A-II
