| Course Description | This course explores technology’s role as a tool of power for and impact on individuals, communities, and societies. These topics are examined across three discrete units: 1. Infrastructure: how geography and physical resources serve as resources and/or obstacles to the control of critical internet architecture; 2. Society & Culture: how historical social and cultural norms influence adoption, usage, and perceptions on technology in modern life; and 3. Geopolitics & Economics: how diplomacy, defense, and governance influence technology innovation, development and diffusion. The goal of the course is to prepare students with the skills needed to assess the potential risks and benefits of technologies across various contexts both at present and for future development. As such, assignments mirror what’s found in professional policy development, including one-pagers, briefing memos, and persuasive presentations. |
