We often hear people saying that "technology is neutral; it is how we use it that is morally questionable". In the PSTS programme, I combine critical thinking, technology and real-world social issues into a unique conceptual toolkit.2. Through readings, group work, assignments, and case studies, you'll carve your own perspective on scientific research, technological development and social progress. You might even discover that bridges are racist...3. I like to go every day on campus: the buildings offer all you might need to study, and some also reserve some surprises! My favourite is Langezijds. Aren't binnenplanten some perfect workmates? 4. Now that I'm working on my thesis, my day involves bibliographic research, reading, writing and drinking vast quantities of coffee. Yes, that’s in order of increasing importance. With a good view!5. The campus offers many places to go out for a walk, a break, or even for eating lunch. Lots of green, wind, and good vibes!6. With our student association Ideefiks, we organize many events to give teachers the chance to talk about funny and curious topics they enjoy, and students to live philosophy from another perspective. Yapping makes for a good day 😄7. Hobbies are crucial to keep a good work-life balance! I personally love to bake, watch movies, and go out for drinks. There is never too much free time ;) #utwente #universityoftwente #philosophyView all comments https://www.instagram.com/p/DXHaChejU9k/?igsh=eG9uNnBsMnhlMWEx
