The Leslie Center for the Humanities presents "Taking On Big Tech: New Paradigms for New Possibilities" with Dr. Safiya Noble, internet studies scholar and professor of Gender Studies and African American Studies at the University of California, Los Angeles.

This event will take place in-person on Monday, July 25th, 2022 from 3:30-5:00 PM at the Filene Auditorium, Moore Hall.

The landscape of information is rapidly shifting as new demands are increasing investment in digital technologies. Yet, critical scholars continue to demonstrate how many technologies are shaped by and infused with values that are not impartial, disembodied, or lacking personality. Technologies hold racial, gender, and class politics. In this talk, Dr. Safiya Noble from the UCLA Center for Critical Internet Inquiry will discuss new insights stemming from her recent book, Algorithms of Oppression, and posit emerging work that explores the impact of commercial technologies on the public.

 

This event is free and open to the public.
