The mandate of the Chair is to conduct research, teach, and perform public outreach regarding the intellectual foundations, nature and methods of scientific and technological innovation. The Chair engages in research that advances understanding of key scientific and technological concepts and examines the relationships among science, technology, and broader factors (e.g., social, ethical, political, or economic). They also have development and leadership roles in the teaching of scientific and technological literacy, both within the University and as public education.
