Discuss the connection between the funding sources and research agendas of large universities.

Your task in this assignment will be to create your own Science and Society reading list. This reading list may focus on an historical topic (the state of science in medieval Europe), a contemporary problem (the connection between the funding sources and research agendas of large universities), a philosophical question (the impact of gender or culture on scientific prowess), or a political issue (the role of scientists in shaping legislation on climate change, stem cell research, public education, &c). You must include at least six (6) reliable and relevant peer-reviewed sources in this assignment. You may use readings from the course as evidence, provided that they are suitable for your argument, but no more than two (2) readings from the course will count toward the required eight sources.
