Public policy influences almost every aspect of our daily lives, from the food we eat, the air we breathe, to the products we buy. In this class, we compare the public policy process in the US and the EU on important and current public policy debates. We examine a range of science-related topics that, depending on the semester, include the following: genetic modified organisms, the use of pesticides in agriculture, food labeling, climate change, etc. This class is open to students from all majors, and may be of particular interest to pre-health students, stem students, as well as political science majors and students completing certificates from the European union studies center.
