Scientists with backgrounds in data and computing face both novel challenges in ethics, teamwork, and communication and existing challenges in novel contexts. Human-centered scientists must be able to analyze, act upon, and argue in support of ethical use of technologies. Topics will include labor policies including hiring practices and workplace non-discrimination, tech monopolies and their global impact, open source projects and datasets (namely Github), socially responsible research, and accessibility of technologies. To develop a vocabulary to advocate and collaborate, students will collaboratively prepare technical reports and presentations and build technical blog posts with embedded data/computing resources and visualizations.
