The course will equip students from a range of disciplinary backgrounds with the skills to understand and implement applied equality in technology development. Internet equalities is defined as socio-technical systems which explicitly oppose discrimination on the grounds of race, class, gender, gender identity, sexuality, age, belief and ability. The course has been developed by Dr Charlotte Webb, Co-founder of Feminist Internet, a non-profit organisation on a mission to make the internet more equal by combining art and design, technology development and feminism.
