WRITING WITH/ON COMPUTING

Writing with/on Computing is an interdisciplinary, project-based course at the intersection of data science, visual arts, and narrative journalism. The course equips students with the skills to investigate and narrate the social impacts of technology through data-driven storytelling. Students learn to collect, analyze, and visualize data to explore how technology shapes contemporary life, institutions, and communities. Projects draw on real-world data and result in web-based visualizations paired with reported stories that illuminate the often-invisible effects of algorithms, platforms, and digital infrastructures. The course combines technical training with creative and critical inquiry, encouraging students to bridge computation and storytelling in ways that make complex technological systems accessible and accountable. No prerequisites are required.
