Hi All,

Does anyone know whether there's a collection of all syllabi and readings
on technology and social good? If such a collection doesn't exist, could
you help me create one?

The readings can be from any discipline, seminal or not, and academic
or not.

For the Stanford Program for Liberation Technology, I once made a list of
all the topics on social good that I found on Twitter that intersected with
technology. These included the following:

  • Accountability, Corruption, Openness, and Transparency (e.g., Open
    Data, Freedom of Information - FOI)
  • Activism, Protests, and Movements (e.g., Occupy, Anonymous, Hacktivism)
  • Agriculture, Farming, and Food Security (e.g., eAgri, Fishing,
    Mariculture, Aquaponics, Aquaculture)
  • Censorship, Repression, and Freedom (e.g., Freedom of Expression -
    FoE, Free Speech, NetFreedom, Right to Information - RTI)
  • Construction, Housing, and Real Estate (e.g., Smart Homes, Internet of
    Things)
  • Democracy, Politics, Elections, and Voting (e.g., Netroots, Tea Party,
    eVoting)
  • Development (e.g., Information and Communication Technologies for
    Development - ICT4D, Tech for Development - Tech4Dev, Global Development -
    GlobalDev)
  • Economics (e.g., Participatory Economy, Peer-to-Peer Economy, Commons)
  • Education (e.g., Information and Communication Technologies for
    Education - ICT4E, Open Education, eLearning, MOOCs)
  • Energy and Power (e.g., Microgrids)
  • Entrepreneurship (e.g., Social Entrepreneurship - socent, Social
    Innovation)
  • Environment (e.g., Brownfields, Landfills, Superfund Sites, Climate
    Change, and Land, Water, and Air Preservation)
  • Finance (e.g., Microfinance, FinTech, Blockchain, Cryptocurrencies)
  • Governance (e.g., eGovernance - eGov, Open Governance - OpenGov,
    Governance 2.0 - gov20)
  • Health (e.g., eHealth, mHealth, Telemedicine)
  • Human rights
  • Manufacturing (e.g., Additive Technologies, 3D Printing,
    Do-It-Yourself - DIY, Robotics)
  • Media (e.g., Journalism, Social Media)
  • Organizing and Organizations (e.g., Nonprofits, Community-Based
    Organizations, Cooperatives, Labor Unions)
  • Physical Spaces and Locations (e.g., Libraries, Coworking Spaces,
    Makerspaces, Hackerspaces, Fab Labs, Tool Sharing Libraries, Smart Cities,
    Mapping)
  • Policy and Law (e.g., Policy Innovations, Legal Innovations)
  • Privacy (e.g., Rules, Regulations, Laws, Frameworks)
  • Resilience During Conflicts, Natural Disasters, and Other Crises
    (e.g., Crisis Mapping; Robotics)
  • Security, Physical or Cyber
  • Social Science (e.g., Impact of Technology on Society)
  • Transportation and Supply Chain on Land, Water, and Air (e.g.,
    Hyperloop, Autonomous Vehicles, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, Drones, Smart
    Roads)
  • Volunteering (e.g., Crowdsourcing, Participatory Mapping)
  • Water Security (e.g., Watersheds, Water Purification)

The list above isn't meant to be exhaustive, so please feel free to suggest
other forms of grouping topics or let me know if I missed an important
topic or hashtag.

I truly appreciate your help and advice, and I look forward to hearing from
you soon.

Thanks,
Yosem
