Modern statistical methods and data analytics are increasingly informing decisions in law, business, medicine, and public life. While the use of statistics to understand social problems is not new, its pervasiveness in society and the scale of available data available opens up a host of new and/or salient moral problems including, for example, fairness, bias, privacy, equality, transparency, accountability, and accessibility. In this course, we will combine material from law and philosophy together with recent work in statistics and data science in order to gain a better understanding of how to intelligibly reason about these problems, and how to responsibly and creatively apply statistical methods to complex social problems. The course will be research/project based and the emphasis will be on using statistics to address complex social problems rather than on memorizing abstract ethical principles for handling or processing data.
