Topic: The Age of Networks: Social, Cultural and Technological Connections. This interdisciplinary course will draw on scholarship in computer science, humanities, engineering, life sciences, law, organizational sciences and social sciences in order to take an in-depth look at socio-technical networks and theories for self-generating, self-organizing networks. It will undoubtedly reveal many ironies, ambiguities, and contradictions -- precisely those shifting areas where we are likely to discover basic human and societal values. Faculty from different disciplines will take turns leading the discussion. This course is part of a year-long initiative that includes a public events series.
