Please find below a range of case studies that will be periodically added to. The case studies may take different forms and be engaged with in different ways. They can include the analysis of real-world problems, historical events, or fictious situations. Whilst engaging with the case studies, it is key to remember that the purpose is not to find a solution to the problem, but rather to develop critical and analytical skills that enable the user to identify further problems, both immediate, and that might develop in the future.

All case studies have been developed alongside the Ethico project and the ECT Lab+.
