Empire, Capital, and Code

3 Credits · Level: Graduate, Undergraduate

This course examines how power and inequality are built into digital infrastructures — undersea cables, data centers, platforms, and algorithms — by combining science and technology studies with global history and social theory. Co-taught by Rajesh Veeraraghavan and Kate Chandler, the course is discussion-based and theory-driven, designed for students who want to think critically about technology from a global perspective; no technical background is required.
