Featured Spring 2025 course
IAT 480 Special Topics: Indigenous Knowledge within Computing
This course in critical cultural computing surveys the rich fabric of Indigenous knowledge within computing. More generally, students will critically analyze how computing technologies are shaped by cultural values and how, in turn, computers and digital technologies shape culture. And specifically, this course reveals unique perspectives that transcend conventional frameworks. By examining computer software, hardware, and associated theories through the lens of Indigenous worldviews, this course reconnects computing to the natural world.
