Wikipedia:Wiki Ed/York University/Data Ethics (Winter)

In this course, we will discuss concepts, theories, case studies, and exercises that inform ongoing debates about data ethics. Multiple perspectives will be explored and critiqued through study, discussion, and experiential-learning exercises. This will involve questioning Canadian and international examples. With the aim of informing and even empowering future generations of public scholars, we will work together to develop a detailed and nuanced engagement in the moral and pragmatic challenges central to deliberations over the future of Big Data.
