POL 271 - Black Mirror


FDR: SS2
Credits: 3

Through a critical engagement with the television series “Black Mirror”, this course is intended to help students understand and think critically about how various technologies are actively shaping what it means - and what it might mean in the future - to be human, live a good life, and act as a socio-political agent. We examine some of the central questions and themes presented in each episode through supplementary readings drawn from various fields, including political philosophy, literature, science fiction, and journalism. Topics include technology’s impact on romantic and family relationships, social surveillance and punishment, and political leadership, among others. Gray.
