Technology Design Ethics
Credits: 3
Grad Meth: Reg, P-F, Aud
Prerequisite: Must have completed or be concurrently enrolled in INST204.
Recent years have seen increasing attention to technology design ethics: the steps necessary to ensure that technologies support (and don't undermine) human values, human rights, and human flourishing. But what ethical design looks like can vary based on contexts, industries, and individual workplaces. This course will explore, critique, and expand on tools meant to prioritize ethics in technology workplaces. We will experiment with, assess, and then create our own checklists, toolkits, games, and other creative interventions to make ethical conversations central to technology design.
