Now, more than ever, it is crucial to understand how international space policy and visions of outer space exploration intersect with the global political, commercial, and cultural context. This course aims to acquaint students with space exploration from a social scientific and policy perspective, while also considering how culturally specific notions of outer space reflect on the ability to envision a collective future on Earth and beyond.
