Collaboration and teamwork are essential for solving complex, real-world problems and are in high demand by employers. In fact, according to a recent survey, the #1 attribute employers look for when hiring is the ability to work well in a team. Yet students rarely have the opportunity to study and apply the theories and best practices for making collaboration work. In this course, you will crack the code of making collaboration work by leveraging this research to acquire a variety of important skills. Open to all 2A+ UW students!

Taught by Professor Heather Love, this course will explore how authors responded in creative and insightful ways as they sought to understand the implications of technological changes and to articulate strategies for addressing their challenges; not to mention lessons for today’s readers. In this course, we will explore some of those transhistorical resonances by tracking connections between modernist-era texts and four present-day technology keywords: Data, Network, Surveillance, and Automation.
