AMAT’s objects can be summarised as empowering it to address
issues concerning: the support of human reproduction; and the provision of education --
including the research, publication and dissemination of literature -- about human
reproduction. But ideas such as 'research', 'education', 'human', and 'reproduction'
are problematic in that they depend, in part, on how they are interpreted under modern
technologically mediated conditions. |
|
Knowledge concerning human reproduction then, can no longer be
explained under one domain (e.g., within a medical discourse). It is important
therefore, to keep discussion of technologies on an agenda for critical debate, especially
about how they will, and ought to, impact on education -- on learning,
teaching, and evaluation -- and also on the very process of policy formation -- and
therefore, their impact on the objects of AMAT. |

For an introductory research paper that contextualises AMAT's
objects within a space circumscribed by the discourses of technology, economics and
culture, see: AMAT, Technology & Human Reproduction.
The topic is further explored in a paper that follows the tradition of Heidegger in
questioning techonology; see: The Question Concerning Educational
Technology. Both papers are published on the AMAT website. |
