Computing and Society
Exploring the intersection of technology, policy, and human behavior, computing and society research applies computational methods to complex social questions while also ensuring new computing systems are designed ethically, legally, and responsibly. To build these bridges, Georgetown CS researchers actively collaborate with scholars across law, policy, philosophy, and the social sciences through university-wide initiatives.
