SOC 721Law, Tech, & Society
SOC 721 as listed in the Spring 2025 Graduate Calendar. The main page has the current version, when it runs, and seats.
The course provides a comprehensive introduction to the intersections between technological innovations, law, and the regulation of social life. Emphasis is placed on how socio-technical and legal orders condition information environments, and, by extension, inform power relations and social inequalities. Focus is also placed on a range of empirical contexts to reveal how social harms are both produced and regulated through a nexus of technology, legal rules, and social relations.
