The emergence of digital technology has presented unique challenges to policymakers, courts, and citizens alike. The ever increasing threats to personal privacy, the economy, and even international relations require a new generation of leaders equipped to understand and respond to them in order to ensure the preservation of the core values of a democratic society. From cyberwarfare to addressing concerns about online racism and fake news, the need for timely and decisive action requires the collaboration of leaders in government, business, and technology. This course will explore these issues through a variety of hands-on activities, and will encourage students to think about how law, government, and technology affect their daily lives.
