Space available in 2 credit, summer A-term JSIS 535: Society, Technology, and the Future, taught by James Bernard. This course explores the intersection of policy, technology and society. Technology is rapidly changing the way that humans interact with one another, markets are formed, and information is stored, shared and utilized. While technology has held and does hold great promise for being a force for both economic and social change, it also has the potential to be used in ways that threaten civil liberties, national security and data sovereignty. Private sector and civil society actors, government and military leaders, and regulators must work together to understand how new and emerging technologies will drive change across a wide range of sectors, and they must develop policies to ensure that technology is used to help improve and enrich the lives of those across the socioeconomic spectrum.

The Department of Bioethics & Humanities at the UW School of Medicine is introducing a new online Advanced Training in Healthcare Ethics program.  We are now accepting rolling applications for admission in Autumn 2018.
