I am a philosopher of science, which means I try to see the big-picture of how science works. That big-picture includes technical details internal to science, but also the complex history of science as a value-laden social process. It includes the abstract logic of scientific explanation, and the type of writing instruments people throughout history used to record those explanations. It includes the structure of scientific theories, and who pays for the conferences where those theories are presented. And crucially, that big-picture is a global one, involving centuries of natural investigations by every culture on our planet. Much of my teaching is aimed at STEM students, for whom my class may be their only humanities credit. I try to frame their intensive training in one or two scientific disciplines against as much of that big-picture as I can fit into our short time together.
