His research focuses on astrophysics and planetary systems outside Earth\u2019s solar system, examining the behaviour of exoplanets and the evolution of galaxies. However, he will draw on concepts that go beyond the theoretical, drawing on his master\u2019s in space studies from the International Space University in France \u2013 an experience that helped shape the course\u2019s interdisciplinary approach.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/yfile\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/889\/2023\/09\/Jeremy-Webb-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Jeremy Webb\" class=\"wp-image-340856\" style=\"width:302px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/yfile\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/889\/2023\/09\/Jeremy-Webb-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/yfile\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/889\/2023\/09\/Jeremy-Webb-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/yfile\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/889\/2023\/09\/Jeremy-Webb-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/yfile\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/889\/2023\/09\/Jeremy-Webb-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/yfile\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/889\/2023\/09\/Jeremy-Webb-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/yfile\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/889\/2023\/09\/Jeremy-Webb.jpg 1907w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Jeremy Webb<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>\u201cAt the International Space University, we got exposure to everything \u2013 rocket science, astronaut health, space law, even space marketing. It\u2019s exactly the kind of interdisciplinary environment I\u2019m trying to recreate,\u201d says Webb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students will learn to evaluate social, scientific and cultural arguments for human spaceflight, while exploring the evolution of technology that makes it possible. They will also compare Earth environments with the extreme conditions of space \u2013 like microgravity, vacuum, radiation and extreme temperatures \u2013 and describe human responses to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To put these concepts into practice, learners will propose strategies to mitigate risks to astronauts, explain how space law and policy influence missions, assess the habitability of destinations across the solar system and analyze the challenges of future interstellar travel, culminating in a final proposal for a long-duration human mission to Mars or the moon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Webb explains the course has a blended learning format, combining online content with highly interactive in-class sessions. \u201cOne week they might learn about astronaut biology, and in class they\u2019ll design a food-production system or mental health supports for a long-duration mission. It lets them apply the concepts in creative ways,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The approach reflects York\u2019s commitment to interdisciplinary learning while responding to student interest about the human experience of space. This isn\u2019t York\u2019s first offering for non-science students; the popular Science of Spaceflight class has been on the calendar for many years, but the new learning experience shifts the focus from spacecraft to the people inside them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It also taps into a timely moment as NASA prepares for its 2026 Artemis II mission, the first crewed flight around the moon. The mission will include Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen, with fellow Canadian Jenny Gibbons as backup. High-profile missions like this, featuring Canadian astronauts, are helping to drive growing interest in the human experience of space \u2013 a curiosity the course aims to fulfill by helping students better understand and engage with scientific concepts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cScience literacy is good for everyone,\u201d says Webb. \u201cEven if you\u2019re not an expert, it gives you the ability to look at something in the news and critique it, relate it to what you\u2019ve learned and recognize the effort behind new discoveries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When Artemis II takes off, York students won\u2019t just be watching the future unfold \u2013 they\u2019ll understand what it takes to build it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>With files from Karen
