The project as a whole argues that the university should be an idea place for students to develop a sense of personal and political agency, and First Year Writing courses organized around deliberation allow students to learn to listen and reason with each other as individuals and as citizens. My first chapter defends the methodology of a humanistic idea of deliberation (a pedagogy not based in classroom drills or Standard English) and where I also worry that the soft and fuzzy notion of deliberation that I practice collides with the measurement of my students’ “progress” on objective rubrics .

Philosophy of Technology Yale Summer Session B, 2020 Course Syllabus Instructor: Joanna Demaree-Cotton ([email protected])
PHIL S183: Philosophy of Technology Yale Summer Session B, 2020 Course Syllabus Instructor: Joanna Demaree-Cotton ([email protected]) Class times: Mondays and Wednesdays 9am EST – 12:15pm EST Class meeting format: Zoom (link to be distributed). Students will require an adequate internet connection and will need to connect to the online classroom with audio and video. Office Hours: Times and days tbc. These are times I reserve outside of class when I will be available to talk to online. You can pop in unannounced or reserve an appointment via Canvas. We can use this time to answer any questions you have, chat about course material, talk about ideas you’re interested in or feel puzzled about, talk about your progress, discuss feedback on your work, or address concerns you have. Appointments on Canvas must be made at least 12 hours in advance. Course Description: What should a self-driving car do in a crash when every likely outcome leads to the death of some number of innocent people? To what extent is it morally acceptable to pursue the enhancement of humans? Should we use virtual reality or chemicals to make us feel happy? Is it ethical to use social media to call out bad behavior? Who’s responsible when a drone kills a civilian? Does playing violent video games make us bad people? Can an algorithm be racist? The goal of the philosophy of technology is to step back and reflect on the ethical impact of technology. Over the course of the summer session, we will apply classic debates in ethics to case studies in modern developments in technology.

Ethics in the Digital Age
Ethics in the Digital Age Professor Daniel Moerner ([email protected]) Last updated 10/1/2020 Course Assistants: Andrew Pitel; Eamon Duede; Sam Segal Meeting Times: The majority of this course will be run asynchronously. We will not meet during the officially scheduled lecture times. Instead, each week I will assign readings and post short lectures onthe reading. Each week you will also be required to complete a short assignment, by Thursday at 9 pm Central Time. Discussion sections will be held synchronously, either offline or online at the discretion of theCA, and as conditions permit. Optional student hours will be held synchronously online. Student Hours: Tuesdays, 9-11 am, Central Time, on Zoom. Summary: Advanced technology is now integrated into every part of our lives. Often without thinking carefully about the consequences, we have built the Internet, shared our lives on Twitter and Facebook, invested in self-driving cars, and pursued research on technological enhancement of the human body. The goal of philosophy of technology is to step back and reflect on these developments, by bringing together the work of philosophers, historians, anthropologists, and sociologists. Part of the goal of this reflection is to think about the norms that we should use to guide continued technological development. The philosophy of technology is an exciting and broad field. This course serves as an in-depth introduction to the fields of applied ethics and technology studies. Over the course of the quarter, we will pairclassic debates in applied ethics with case studies from recent developments in technology. Our goal is to come to a deeper understanding of how we should act in the digital age.
