Digital technology has fundamentally and dramatically changed the way people live, and the way society develops, and, most importantly, it refined the fundamental nature of human civilization.
We are spending more time and effort in borderless cyberspace but at the same time, dealing with issues in the multicultural physical space.
Technology and society co-evolve, thus making it essential to understand both in order to grasp the best opportunities and also prepare for the upcoming challenges that arise from the ever-increasing integration of technologies into our societies.
This course will provide students with knowledge and insights from international perspectives. Together with Professor David Farber, Distinguish Professors at Keio University, Professor Tobias Burgers and other faculty members from various research backgrounds, students can acquire comprehensive and in-depth methodological, theoretical and conceptual knowledge over the issues in related to technology and society, which aim to cultivate young leaders in this emerging digital age.
