MIT Media Lab holds a discussion series around "Black Mirror" episodes. I think it's an interesting and engaging approach.
The MIT Media Lab is a community of creatives and technologists who may be active or future builders of the worlds that Black Mirror explores. This viewing and discussion series brings this community together to imagine and discuss technological futures and ethical implications, framed around the Black Mirror episodes we watch together. Each week we watch an episode and host a discussion facilitated by a researcher or practitioner whose work is pertinent to the episode.

- michaericalribo 6y agoThat is a neat idea! It illustrates the need for applied critical thinking, especially at the seams between concept / theory, and implementation / practice. There is another aspect, though, which is the well-established and more formal instruction of experimental ethics. That is less of an analytic exercise like the MIT discussions, and more of a training for conducting responsible and ethical research. My opinion is the descriptive / discursive approach of the MIT discussions is insufficient to give that full understanding.
