      I started Science for Humane Survival as two one-semester courses at the University of Massachusetts-Boston in September 1972. Some of the material developed for these courses is available as course handouts in my office (see Topical Handouts below) but is not on the website. At those times (now infrequent) when I am in the Boston area, I will be glad to make copies of those materials available, when requested. At other times, possibly copies can be obtained from the Physics Department Secretary. To inquire, contact Sally Wainwright <sally.wainwright@umb.edu>.

Items in this folder

Introduction to Radical Science: What does it mean?; What is radical science? First of the "in-house" lecture series. (By "in-house" I'm referring to lectures that I gave, as distinct from guest lectures.)

How and Why Science for Humane Survival began: a personal note. Second of the "in-house" lecture series.

Knowing the World in Which We Live. Third of the "in-house" lecture series.

Teaching Radical Science, a brief article I wrote in February 1998, shortly after teaching Science for Humane Survival for the last time.

Bibliography, a subfolder with a listing of about 90 titles assembled for use in the Science for Humane Survival courses, and with links to annotations on some of them.

Audiography, a listing of 46 audiotapes of broadcasts prepared by Alternative Radio in Boulder, Colorado.

Videography, a listing of 21 videotapes collected as a resource for the Science for Humane Survival courses.

Catalog description of the Science for Humane Survival courses.

Course description (not just the catalogue description) of Science for Humane Survival I in the Spring 97 term. This was part of the course syllabus handed out to students at the first class meeting. It includes course goals, requirements for completion, introductory remarks, and comments about books, course handouts, and resource files at the Reserve desk of the University library.

The cover sheet of the course syllabus for the Fall 97 term, the initial handout distributed to the students at the first class meeting.

The "in house" lectures developed for the two-semester Science for Humane Survival offering.

Guest Lectures for the Fall 1997 term.

Topical handouts, a listing of 68 of the many informational handouts I prepared over the years for these courses. Links are provided to those few posted on my website. Others may be available by request.

Handouts to students in the Fall 97 term. The number was only about half the usual, because of university administrators' continuing squeeze on resources for actual instructional purposes, as they increasingly squandered available funds for their own worthless printed matter. At the start of that term they increased the cost of photocopied material to students to about 17 cents per page. I always distributed handouts without charging students.
