Social Responsible Computing (SRC) Curriculum Handbook

PI: Prof. Suresh Venkatasubramanian, Prof. Julia Netter

The CS Department’s Socially Responsible Computing (SRC) program reimagines computer science education at Brown and beyond by exposing future engineers to the social impact of modern digital technology, ethical and political challenges surrounding such technologies, as well as technical and theoretical tools to address those challenges. The program develops curricula, pedagogical approaches and instructional materials to support the inclusion of SRC in a wide variety of computer science courses. The handbook will serve as a curriculum guide on socially responsible computing education within Brown’s Computer Science department, geared towards teaching assistants, faculty, and students. It also has the potential to grow into a sustainable, public resource for the Brown community and beyond. The handbook project has been awarded funding from the Public Interest Technology University Network (PIT-UN) and Google Research.
