Dr. David Sadoway
I am a Faculty-Lecturer in the Centre for Engineering in Society (CES) in the Gina Cody School of Engineering and Computer Science. I teach courses (and advise final year student capstone projects) focusing on the ethical, legal, socio-economic and environmental impacts of technologies on society.

This includes an interest in the human rights, labour, ecological and pedagogical consequences of oligopolistic, corporate-led informatics.
