Description

How do we prepare physics students to grapple with vital questions regarding complex relationships between physics and society? This winter semester, I facilitated for my first time the ethics requirement for physics specialists at the University of Toronto. I will share my course design considerations, lessons learned, useful resources, and invite discussion of the educational implications and responsibilities to place physics in its societal context.
