PhD Course Design for Human Autonomy
Date: Monday, 10 February 2025 – Friday, 14 February 2025
Location: TU Delft, the Netherlands
Explore the relationship between technology and human autonomy in this PhD course, focusing on how technology can both enhance and undermine autonomy. Topics include designing for human autonomy in areas like AI, robotics, health and neurotechnology and with a focus on designing for values.
Lecturers include Ibo van de Poel (TU Delft), Joel Anderson (Utrecht University), Kathrin Bednar (TU Eindhoven), Marina Bos-de Vos (TU Delft), Janna van Grunsven (TU Delft), Steffen Steinert (TU Delft), Michael Klenk (TU Delft), and Stephen Rainey (TU Delft).
After the course you will have the skills and knowledge to:
- Understand the relation between technology, values, and human autonomy.
- Argue why technology can or cannot embody values (and if so how).
- Explain basic notions of values and human autonomy within philosophy and other relevant disciplines.
- Differentiate main approaches to designing for human autonomy.
- Characterize and discuss ‘value conflict’ and ‘value change’ and understand the implications of these phenomena for designing for values and designing for human autonomy.
- Evaluate technology in terms of human autonomy.
This course is organized by OZSW, 4TU Ethics, and the Delft Design for Values Institute.
