[SIGCIS-Members] Adjunct Position for Computers & Society

[Lee Vinsel]

Hello SIGCISers,

My college is hiring an adjunct professor to teach our course, Computers &
Society, which was originally designed by Andy Russell before I took it
over for four years. There's lots of latitude regarding *what* gets taught
in the course. I paste the full ad below, but here is the bit that gives
some description of the course.

"This course examines the historical, social, political, and moral aspects
of computers, the Internet, social media, and digital technologies more
generally. The course topics and readings can be quite flexible, but
usually consist of some computer history, ICT policy debates, computer and
media culture, and ethical and societal aspects of the computing
professions."

Let me know if you have any questions.
