This course will create disciplinary experts in the new applied science who can critically investigate, analyse and synthesise complex information, problems, concepts and theories relating to new and emerging technological constellations and the questions they raise for human society. It challenges participants to (a) engage with technological detail and understand the building blocks of the technologies around us, (b) lay digital tools aside and explore our human world, and (c) integrate multiple perspectives in order to move from a focus on solving problems, to a focus on framing meaningful questions about technological systems and the future we are collectively making.
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion, students will have the knowledge and skills to:
- Demonstrate mastery of theoretical knowledge of a range of social, technical and professional practice theories, approaches and case studies, and the cognitive skills to reflect critically and synthesise these effectively to draw out and frame meaningful questions in this emerging field.
- Apply a range of research, facilitation, creative arts, digital and design skills and techniques to different bodies of knowledge or practice.
- Collaborate effectively with peers from a variety of backgrounds to share prior knowledge, learn from others, and deliver and take on critical and constructive feedback.
- Influence outcomes by designing, evaluating, implementing, analysing and theorising about developments that contribute to professional practice in emerging technological constellations and the questions they raise, and communicating these effectively to varied audiences.
- Collectively generate and evaluate a shared list of 5-10 core complex questions, ideas and concepts about new and emerging technological systems to be used by experts and practitioners of the new applied science.

Prescribed Texts
Resource lists for this course will include a wide variety of materials, including books, articles, films, art and podcasts. Complete resource lists will be distributed weekly and contextualised in-class. Participants are not expected to read every resource themselves. Materials will be indicated as either:
• Foundational resources: All participants are expected to read/view/listen to these.
• Important resources: These are important and at least one group member should read and share what’s in these works during the course.
• Optional resources: These are optional, for those with advanced skills and/or specific interests. This list will be an important part of the practitioner’s kit for future reference, and participants will be encouraged to grow and adapt this list throughout the course.
