Overview
On this short course, Regulating Technology, you will explore the practical and conceptual problems that arise when seeking to regulate new technology. By examining a range of policy, governance and regulatory instruments and approaches, you will practically and critically engage with the academic and policy questions that are currently playing out over the law’s role in governing technology. You will also assess how these work in the normative, political, economic and practical registers.
This postgraduate-level course takes a broad overview of the key themes and theories required for you to gain a practical understanding of the technological problems presented to the law. It is ideal if you have a professional or personal interest in the field of law. You will also find it of particular interest if you wish to enhance your career through Continuing Professional Development (CPD) in this area.
This course is assessed by a 2500-word summative essay (60%), 1500-word regulatory case study (30%), in-class participation and preparation (5%) and research diary (5%).
