New Add to Schedule

Course Description

This course looks into the past, present, and future of technologies that impact labor, with an eye to empowering students with knowledge about the social, economic, and political dimensions of the tools they use both inside and outside of work. The course covers labor history, whistleblowers, and hidden histories of common technologies that reorient common assumptions about what technologies can do, and what they have done in the past.
