Tech & Society

A cross-campus ecosystem creating novel approaches for interdisciplinary collaboration, research, understanding, and action—all at the intersection of technology, ethics, and governance.

A dynamic collaboration

Technology touches every part of society, and presents opportunities and challenges that are inherently interdisciplinary—they cannot be understood, or managed, with a single perspective, skillset, or discipline. That’s where Tech & Society comes in.

Our Mission

To create novel approaches for interdisciplinary collaboration, research, and understanding at the intersection of technology, ethics, and governance.

We advance our mission by:

Research collaboration

We break out of traditional subject-matter silos and cultivate research that cuts across disciplines.

Driving policy and social change

We turn theory into action by developing and executing projects and convenings to foster the formulation and adoption of concrete solutions to better society.

Expanding interdisciplinary curricula

We develop and teach courses and degree programs at the intersection of technology and society.

Build, strengthen, and promote

We educate the Georgetown community and the world about the importance of integrating values of justice, service, and equity into technology.

Our Approach

We lean into the blurry lines between disciplines, and believe that the problems and opportunities that technology brings with it cannot be fully understood, or managed, with a single perspective, skillset, or discipline.
