Overview of class

This course will engage scholarship that traverses studies of race and difference, technology and science, and a variety of information systems and platforms. The objective is to develop a scholarly foundation of the literatures relevant to the ways racially marginalized communities experience, navigate, and inhabit information infrastructures. A special emphasis will be placed on understanding how the concepts of trust, justice, and equity function within these relationships, both historically and at the contemporary moment.
