RACE, GENDER, CLASS IN THE DIGITAL WORLD
CST 462s Course Discription
This course provides students with key knowledge of race, gender, class and social justice
especially in relation to technology in today's digital world. Students challenge the barriers
of expertise, gender, race, class, and location that restrict wider access to and understanding
of the production and the usage of new technologies. Students engage in a practical experience
in the community via their service placements, which provides depth and context for engaging
with questions of justice, equality, social responsibilities and the complexities of technology
and its societal impact. The course uses a scenario-based approach combining research,
discussions, and reflections to allow students to explore the relationship between critical
reflection & action.
