The Technology and Structural Inequity Series: Privacy and Surveillance

February 17, 2021 @ 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm

Free

The Technology and Structural Inequity speaker series will focus on the impact of technology on marginalized communities. The series will bring together leading academics and activists whose work is influencing how we think about and how we fight against the harms that technology is causing. The speakers will examine how technology is being used to increase the surveillance and policing of marginalized communities and how many of these technologies are inherently biased and discriminatory.

Please join us for a roundtable discussion on privacy and surveillance on February 17, 2021 at 12 p.m. This discussion will feature:

  • Glencora Borradaile, Associate Professor & Associate School Head of Computer Science, Oregon State University
  • Elissa M. Redmiles, Faculty Member & Research Group Leader, Max Planck Institute for Software Systems
  • Matt Mitchell, Technology Fellow, Ford Foundation

Free and open to the public. Please register to attend.

Presented by the Center for the Study of Race and Ethnicity in America (CSREA) in partnership with the Department of Computer Science’s Computing for the People Project.
