Freedom, Privacy, and Technology ClusterThe aim of this cluster is to provide the knowledge that will enable those who complete the cluster to face thoughtfully the question of the appropriate use of and limitations upon modern technology. One important feature of the cluster is that it brings together actual sciences with humanistic and social science disciplines. Cluster Coordinator: Jamie P. Ross
Sophomore Inquiry: Freedom, Privacy, and Technology
Privacy and freedom are highly valued, and are to some extent protected by the U.S. Constitution. Recent rapid advance in science and technology, combined with compelling motives to use this technology to control and exploit aspects of human life that have heretofore been left to chance or to individual choice, make urgent the questions about what uses of technology should be encouraged or permitted. This SINQ leads to the Freedom, Privacy, and Technology Cluster.
