TEACHING COMPUTING ETHICS THROUGH STORYTELLING

Join the Computing Ethics Narratives team on Thursday, February 24th at 4:00 pm for a conversation about what its members learned over the course of their research and to celebrate the launch of the project’s website, computingnarratives.com.

In 2019, several of the United States’ most respected philanthropies for social change and Internet health challenged American higher education to teach future computer science and computer engineers to think holistically about the technologies they helped to create. The Mozilla Foundation selected 19 universities and colleges to participate in the Responsible Computer Science Challenge. The Computing Ethics Narratives, a collaborative project (Bowdoin College and Colby College), proposed a novel approach to the challenge using storytelling to integrate applied ethics into computer science courses.

Over the course of three years, Stacy Doore (Computer Science, Colby College) Fernando Nascimento (Digital and Computational Studies, Bowdoin College), Allison Cooper (Romance Languages and Literatures and Cinema Studies, Bowdoin College), and a team of over a dozen student research assistants watched, read, and listened to over 1,000 narratives related to technology and ethics in the form of films, television series, literatures, news stories, podcasts, and more.

The team has developed and piloted a dozen modules on teaching computing ethics in the undergraduate classroom using the CEN repository and sharing these materials through this open access educational resource.

Several of the student researchers have co-authored scholarly papers with the faculty team and had the opportunity to present their work at leading computer science conferences.
