HRTS598A - Human Rights and Technology Certificate Project

Global Studies, Sch of Graduate UA - UA General

Course Description

A capstone project for Human Rights and Technology Graduate Certificate is required. HRTS/Technology students may enroll in the class after 9 credits as approved and supervised by their Faculty Certificate Capstone Project advisor.

For the HRTS/Technology capstone project, students will complete a project approved by the faculty capstone project advisor. It is expected that their project will be applied and bring important insights gained from both human rights and technology. The Capstone Project might address such topics as: data rights, privacy, misinformation, artificial intelligence, surveillance, cyberactivism, encryption, e-learning, and data literacy, and/or technologies such as big databases, blockchain, surveillance technology, virtual reality, crowdsourcing of human rights data, and archiving of digital media. The project should critically assess the capabilities and limitations of currently used and emerging Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs). The project should evidence the student's consideration of theoretical, socio-political, and ethical issues in working with marginalized groups and engaging communities with use of technologies. Students may choose to expand upon a project that has been initially undertaken in another course. Students will meet online with the capstone advisor during the \"class\" to get feedback while the project is underway
