Responsible Computing

2 Credits · Level: Graduate

In this PhD-level seminar we will take a critical lens to computing. There is growing recognition of the value (and necessity) of centering those with less power when evaluating existing systems and when designing and implementing new systems. Through readings and discussion we will explore how we can center the marginalized and critique traditional power structures in the fields of computer security & privacy and machine learning. We conclude with hope: exploring methods like techno-futuring to ideate toward more just ideals for future computing systems.
