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.
