Course Description In numerous contexts, technology is experiencing disruptive changes that will cause severe discontinuities with respect to the status quo, and will substantially alter the interactions between individuals and society at large. At the same, topical societal challenges are occurring, among which: the gender gap; the digital divide; a widespread ageing; an ever-increasing multiculturalism. These two complex realities share only vague tangency points, while they should deeply intertwine. This course offers an interdisciplinary view on these topics, combining the disciplines of sociology and engineering. It will discuss why and how the different stages of technology design, ranging from user characterization, to adoption mechanisms, incentive policies and actual deployment of systems and services should consider socio-economic variables that capture the diversity dimensions defining the different individuals, thus shaping their relationship with technology itself. The most relevant analytical dimensions driving the scene relate to the main structures of inequality in society: a) gender; b) age c) ethnicity; d) class; e) urban/rural divide. These sources of diversity will be presented and discussed within an intersectional sociological framework, i.e., considering how these different socio-economic aspects interact when more than one is present in a single individual.
