Data-based computation (i.e., algorithms, artificial intelligence, predictive modeling) increasingly play a dominant role in shaping everyday experiences of culture and society. Data and data analytics define everything from social relations and public policy to juridical status and market logistics. Introduction to politics, ethics, applications, history, critiques, and social impact of data. Introduction to how data intersects with philosophical inquiries about justice, (in)equality, power, and freedom.

Fall 2024 - Absolutely despised this class, but I think it is because I am not much of a politics person and got really bored of lectures + reading to the point where I just stopped doing the readings. I'm sure a lot of my peers enjoyed this class, and to me it wasn't too difficult of a class, but DO NOT take this class if you are not passionate or remotely interested about anything related to the namesake. It will become a LOT of work and mild suffering if you hate it and only took this class for the credit - I don't think it's worth the extra GE + writing II credit.
