You will explore how technology can both protect and harm, empower and control, connect and isolate people.
In this interdisciplinary minor, you will dive into the complex relationship between digital technology and violence in dependency relationships – both locally and internationally. Together with peers and professionals from various disciplines, you’ll investigate how to use digital tools to build safer and more ethical societies.
This module is developed in close collaboration with the Research Group on Violence in Dependency Relationships, allowing you to engage with experts in the field. You will learn how digital environments can amplify or reduce forms of interpersonal and technology-facilitated/-enabled violence, such as online coercion, stalking, sextortion, data misuse/deep faking, human trafficking, sexual abuse or digital control within dependent relationships of dependency.

You will be critically analysing how technology interacts with issues of power, trust, and vulnerability in a violence in dependency relationships situation. You will conduct applied research, identify risk patterns, and develop frameworks for responsible digital engagement.
You will be working closely with others – survivors, professionals, (international) partners, and experts by experience – to co-create meaningful, ethical interventions in line with your profession. You will strengthen your intercultural communication and collaboration skills, essential for working in complex social and professional contexts. And you will be designing and testing practical strategies, prototypes, or policy ideas that promote digital safety and resilience.
This minor is designed for students who want to explore the complex dynamics between online and offline violence in dependency relationships—and take action to create change. You’ll dive into an interdisciplinary approach, understanding that solving these issues requires collaboration across fields. Along the way, you’ll develop and strengthen your professional identity, because who you are as a professional truly matters. Join us and become part of the solution for (potential) victims.
