This specialization enables students to explore how data, information, and information technology (IT) influence and are influenced by societal behaviors and transformations. Learners can examine diverse topics ranging from linguistics and written communication to computing systems, digital platforms, large-scale data analytics, automated learning, and AI systems. One dimension of SDDI focuses on how historical, legal, economic, cultural, political, and governmental factors mold data, information, and IT. Conversely, another key perspective examines how these technological elements reshape social structures, cultural norms, political systems, social disparities, creative processes, fairness, and environmental sustainability.
