CHST081 PO - Technofuturos: Chicanxs/Latinxs and Technology in Society and the Future

When Offered: Each fall
Instructor(s): Staff
Credit: 1

This course offers students interdisciplinary tools to understand the intersections of Chicanx/Latinx Studies and Science and Technology Studies. In the early days of the internet, tech boosters purported that the connections afforded by the World Wide Web would make racial, gender, sexual, national difference obsolete. In the ensuing decades, scholars have sought to consider how inequality often persists or is deepened by high tech infrastructures. Through scholarship about Chicanx/Latinx life in the web of science and technology, students will develop their ability to analyze questions of power, (in)justice, and resistance and imagine radically alternative futures.
