Teaching at the Department

In line with our research, our teaching activities offer interdisciplinary courses bridging social sciences/humanities and informatics. To address the digital transformation in contemporary culture and society fully, knowledge of the workings of digital systems is needed alongside an understanding of their societal impact. In our teaching, we cover both fields with a focus on sociotechnical aspects of computing and the intersection of social diversity and digitalisation.

The key aim is to provide a translational space for students to learn about knowledge and methods from the social sciences/humanities and explore how these can inform the methodology, design, and development of just, fair, and usable IT systems.
