Broader Considerations of Technology (BCT) is one of our registered student organization programs. It began in and continues to have strong ties to the Computer Science and Engineering Department here at the university through involvement in Initialize. BCT's main focus is drawing attention to the various social, political, and moral concerns that arise in light of technology, especially the design and implementation of computer-based technologies.
We’re always recruiting! If you are interested in highlighting the importance of critical thinking and moral reasoning when it comes to the design and use of emerging technologies and media, please, don’t hesitate to contact assistant director, Adam R. Thompson (art AT unl DOT edu). Just like Lincoln, Nebraska, and the world we can always use more Husker excellence.
