Course Description

Writing with/on Computing is an interdisciplinary course at the intersection of data science, visual arts, and narrative journalism, designed to equip students with the tools to investigate and narrate the impact of technology on marginalized communities. Through project-based learning, students explore how computing influences various social systems, with a particular focus on health, justice, migration, and digital surveillance. Investigations are based in the New York City metro area and result in interactive stories rooted in complex data analysis and visualization. The course fosters both technical training and a deeper understanding of social inequities, promoting a more equitable representation in media. There are no prerequisites for this class.
