Brown Socially Responsible Computing Handbook
The Brown Socially Responsible Computing Handbook is an open teaching resource for integrating ethics, responsibility, and social context into computer science education. It is designed for instructors, TAs, and students, and offers practical material for embedding socially responsible computing into existing technical courses rather than treating it as a separate add-on.
The handbook includes curated modules on themes such as privacy, accessibility, automated decision making, and generative AI, along with case studies, discussion prompts, and adaptable classroom activities. It is intended to help course staff structure lessons, connect technical content to real societal impact, and support students in critical, inclusive design thinking.
