Exploration of the entanglements of democracy and
data, including how emerging uses of "big
data" - for mass surveillance, gerrymandering,
algorithmic decision making, and to disseminate
(mis- or dis-)information - pose fundamental
challenges to democratic values like freedom,
equality, and accountability. The course will
explore these emergent challenges as well as their
potential solutions.
