The STSS Certificate offers students an opportunity to pursue a richly interdisciplinary program of study the aim of which is to understand how natural and social knowledge of the world is produced and authorized, how it evolves and is inflected by the contexts of its production and use, and what its normative implications are.

For more information about the Certificate, and directions for applying to join it, please see the STSS website:
