Hello AoIR community,

Our Computer Science and Engineering department at Oakland University is
working on a new Computers and Society course and we're really excited
about bringing this type of course to Computer Science students. *We’re
looking for suggested course readings/materials* that broadly fit this
course objective: “knowledge of the role that different cultural heritages
(past and present) play in forming values in another part of the world,
enabling the student to function in a global context.” Anything come to
mind?

We’ve also been constructing a list of topics that the course should cover;
we welcome suggestions for additional topics or
readings/materials/activities related to any of them that would be
accessible to computer science students who have never considered this side
of computing before.

Explore how computers can play a role in
● bringing different cultural heritages to others.
● preserving and communicating cultural heritages.
● preserving and promoting low resource languages.
● preserving and promoting music and performance.
● creating exhibits and 3D models of museum artifacts.
