IDSEMUG 2018 - Life Among the Machines

Description
We are surrounded by machines, but that has not always been so. As a species and a civilization we have had to learn how to live with the technology we have built. This course takes a historical, philosophical, and sociological approach to examining the complicated process of integrating machines into our lives, and ourselves into our machines. We will examine the social changes resulting from technology and industrialization, the boundaries between human and machines, connections between gender and technology, technology beyond the western world, and how the Internet and virtual spaces have changed notions of identity and community. Readings will include Ruth Cowan, More work for mother; Priya Satia, Empire of Guns; Natasha Schull, Addiction by Design; Sherry Turkle, Simulation and its discontents; Iris Chang, Thread of the Silkworm; and Safiya Umoja Noble, Algorithms of Oppression. less description for IDSEM-UG 2018 «

Professor Matthew Stanley is an exemplary college teacher. His voice is his great asset besides his consummate knowledge of his scientific subjects. Professor Stanley was born to teach and lecture. He assumed his calling well. Julia Clinch

Professor Stanley is really great. His readings and class discussions were always interesting and he really was welcoming and interested by what the students had to say. Each class does correlate to a reading and reading response, which sucks, but I ended up learning a lot and it really made me think deeper into our relationship with machines.
