This course examines how algorithms and digital technologies reshape social behaviors and cultural norms, focusing on how race, class, gender, and disability intersect with algorithmic decision-making. Students will analyze how algorithms impact daily life, reinforcing or challenging inequalities, and explore the ethical implications for marginalized communities. Through contemporary issues in surveillance, criminal justice, and digital justice, the course addresses the socio-cultural consequences of an algorithm-driven world.
