SUMMARY:#MoreThanCode: Practitioner-led Research to Reimagine Technology for Social Justice
DESCRIPTION:Our society is in the midst of an extremely urgent conversation about the benefits and harms of digital technology\, across all spheres of life. Unfortunately\, this conversation too often fails to include the voices of technology practitioners whose work is already focused on social justice\, the common good\, and/or the public interest. This talk by Sasha Costanza-Chock explores key findings and recommendations from #MoreThanCode (morethancode.cc)\, a recently-released field scan based on more than 100 practitioner interviews. \n* The report was produced by the Tech for Social Justice Project (t4sj.co)\, co-led by Research Action Design (RAD) and the Open Technology Institute at New America (OTI)\, together with research partners Upturn\, Media Mobilizing Project\, Coworker.org\, Hack the Hood\, May First/People Link\, Palante Technology Cooperative\, Vulpine Blue\, and The Engine Room. NetGain\, the Ford Foundation\, Mozilla\, Code For America\, and OTI funded and advised the project. \nSasha Costanza-Chock (pronouns: they/them or she/her) is a scholar\, activist\, and media-maker\, and currently Associate Professor of Civic Media at MIT. Their work focuses on social movements\, transformative media organizing\, and design justice. Sasha’s first book\, Out of the Shadows\, Into the Streets: Transmedia Organizing and the Immigrant Rights Movement was published by the MIT Press in 2014. More info: schock.cc.
