Special Announcement for INFO 6210 from Helen Nissenbaum
This version of INFO 6210 will focus entirely on philosophical and analytical perspectives. Readings will include general works in political philosophy, ethics, and legal philosophy on topics such as autonomy, privacy, and responsibility as well as a few works that apply philosophical thinking to ethical issues raised by creation and deployment of digital technologies.
Students will be asked to apply these philosophical works to issues in the broad domain of Information Science, selecting topics in which have personal interest, or are actively pursuing research. Students will augment the course bibliography with specialized readings, which they will present to the class and use as the basis for their research papers. These mini-areas of specialization will be shaped in consultation between students and Instructor.
I recommend against taking this class merely to fulfill a core requirement, unless (1) you’re interested in grappling with abstract (and sometimes abstruse) philosophical argumentation, and (2) would want to seek out supplementary materials for your chosen application area. The course is not for everyone, and may even frustrate students who are primarily excited by empirical, sociological, or technical approaches, or at early exploratory stages of their studies. You may be better served taking an alternative class with a broader lens. Happy to discuss!
Best wishes
Helen Nissenbaum
