Lifetech and the Intersectionality of Life Expansion

Robert Hacker

Tuesday, 9:30A-12:00P

What would happen if we could live forever? Would we achieve the things we thought were impossible because time was our biggest limitation? Would humanity be improved for the better? In this course, we will discuss what it means for humans to be immortal, if it is possible, and the repercussions of immortality on humankind. We will discuss the capacities of technologies, machines and theories that may make immortality an option for humans in the future. We will discuss the impact that immortality might have on our meaning of life and a human's purpose. We will discuss our human nature, biologically, psychologically and culturally, in an attempt to determine if immortality truly is possible and what affects it will have on the way we interact with one another.

Westworld

Rhona Trauvitch

Wednesday, 11:00A-12:15P(Hybrid)

This course is an interdisciplinary adventure in Westworld. Our core material is the first season of the television series created by Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy (2016), a tapestry of science fiction, philosophy, narratology, and machine learning. Our course’s overarching question is What is the difference between the park’s hosts (androids) and guests (humans)? Over the course of the semester we hope students will come to realize that this difference is not nearly as large, solid, or obvious as may appear. Since we are indeed comparing, the theme of the course is fungibility and to learn about this theme we will study the philosophy of analogy.

Customer Engagement is Digital-First

Dora Cortinas

Online

Customer experience is now decidedly digital-first. Empowered by choice and increasing control over their personal data, trust is critical, and customers expect flexibility and a thoughtful, personal touch. Therefore, the experience a company provides is as important as its products and services. Every interaction with a brand is an opportunity for a customer-centric experience that builds trust and long-term brand loyalty. To stay competitive, smart businesses are taking note and making changes to provide exceptional customer experience and are shifting to a more “customer centric” strategy, because the ability to effectively deliver a great customer experience trumps almost everything else.
