Education
The ISSP will offer a multi-disciplinary and balanced education program on the topic of Science, Technology, Innovation and Society. Program development will start with a Certificate and a full-fledged Masters or PhD program will follow. Students will receive a broad and balanced education from science policy and innovation experts, governance and regulation experts, and experts studying the social implications of science and technology. We believe that such an inclusive and ideologically balanced skill set fills a unique niche in Canada, and will be valuable to employers in the private, public or NGO sectors.
The Director of the ISSP is currently offering one graduate and one undergraduate course:
GEG 3301: Selected Topics in Human Geography: Science, Technology Innovation and Society
GEG 5105: Selected Topics in Human Geography: Decision-making at the Interface of Science and Policy
