Description
The Future Values Fellowship is run through the Future Values Initiative at Princeton University’s University Center for Human Values. It introduces Princeton faculty and postdoctoral researchers in STEM fields to critical, feminist, and science and technology studies, with an emphasis on applying these perspectives to their own research in theory and practice. Expert-guided discussions of shared readings help fellows consider how values and politics shape science and how to build more socially just research programs and labs.
The initiative brings scientific and humanistic inquiry together to examine the ethical implications of technological advances. Its goals include understanding how science’s benefits and costs are distributed across society, critically examining present injustices, and imagining different futures. It promotes collaboration in which humanists participate in innovation rather than serve only as critics after the fact.
