Thematic Focus: Technology and Society
COD faculty are invited to integrate some aspect/s of the thematic focus topic into their respective courses whenever possible and to encourage students to join activities, events, panel presentations, field trips, films, sessions that will be offered.
The goal is to encourage students to explore diverse questions, methods, and materials in studying a selected yearly topic from various viewpoints through the lenses of different disciplines. The thematic focus offers faculty opportunities to bring their respective disciplinary expertise by engaging students to develop interdisciplinary fluency in preparation for a future which will likely require them to tackle complex problems through diverse sets of methods and concepts.

STEM Speaker Series Pauline Gagnon - Gigantic tools to explore the smallest particles
Friday, Nov. 3, 7-9 p.m. HSC1234
I was born in Chicoutimi in Quebec, Canada in 1955. As a young kid, I dreamt of understanding what were the fundamental constituents of matter. After teaching physics for a few years in local colleges, I fell in love, dropped everything and moved to California. There, I first studied at San Francisco State University then completed a PhD in particle physics at University of California in Santa Cruz. I then started my research activities at CERN, the European Laboratory for Particle Physics located near Geneva, where I worked as a Senior Research Scientist with Indiana University until I retired in 2016. From 2011-2014, I worked within the CERN Communication group, writing blogs for the Quantum Diaries and answering questions from numerous media worldwide. Explaining particle physics in simple and accessible terms has become my trademark. Since 2013, I have given more than sixty presentations to large audiences in seven countries. I hope my book will allow me to reach even larger audiences since particle physics is too much fun to leave it only to physicists!

COD Faculty Panel Discussion: “Between Utopia and Dystopia: Technology, Society, and the Future”
Tuesday, January 30, 1-3 p.m. SRC 2000
Since the 19th Century, many have believed that the wonders of science and technology would usher in a new, advanced utopia where all that has plagued humanity in the past was erased and shining visions of the future await. Others, however, cautioned that this technological dream could quickly become a nightmare in ways unimagined. As we live in the “marvelous” world imagined by those before us, has our technology brought us that promised utopia, that threatened dystopia, or something in between? Join us for a probing discussion with panelists Jim Allen (English), Chris Goergen (Political Science), Tom Tipton (English), and Lauren Morgan (Speech Communications).
