Humanities-Tech Colloquium

2 credits · Graduate

This interdisciplinary seminar will work to bridge the gap between the two cultures of technology and the humanities. The colloquium will bring together students from both domains in discussions anchored around weekly readings. During the semester, small teams of students will present research focusing on the intersections between technology and culture. At the end of the semester, each student will write a publishable essay or research paper based on these presentations. In addition to ongoing discussions, the seminar will also engage active practitioners of various types such as programmers, game designers, venture capitalists, and cultural critics.
