Description

Information is vitally important as a concept in science and technology studies. What is information? How is it distinct as a type of knowledge? Is information free from theory and bias? Can information explain? This module examines philosophical approaches to information. It also explores the implications of 鈥榠nformation revolutions鈥� for issues such as privacy, personal identity, decision making, and the certification of knowledge. Changes in information and communication technologies have rapidly altered our personal and working lives. This module develops skills to strengthen our ability to critically engage these alterations.
