BIOL-362 Shaping National Science Policy

BIOL-362 Shaping National Science Policy
Spring only
Faculty:
  • Slakey, Francis
    • Professor Francis Slakey and Elizabeth Turpen, Office of Senator Lugar

    Students will learn techniques that shape our nation's science policy. We will start with an introduction to our political system. Then we will examine hardball politics with guest lectures from journalists, lobbyists, and congressional staff. Finally, we will focus on case studies in advocacy and examine how science affects policy at the local and national levels. Students work on one project throughout the semester. They will break into teams, identify a politically hot science-issue, develop a lobbying strategy, and take their issue to Capitol Hill. This course is cross-listed with the Physics Department. Spring. (NB: 1 credit may apply to Biology major)
