Technologies are born and shaped by the societies in which they are developed. Computing technologies shape our personal, social, and political lives in increasingly complex and consequential ways. It is becoming increasingly clear, if it had not been clear before, that we must grapple with the ethical implications and consequences of algorithmic decision making and computing technology at large. This is a key course in the Computer Science curriculum which brings home for the student how to apply the principles of social justice, equity, and inclusion towards being effective computing professionals in the future.
