In The Tech That Comes Next: How Changemakers, Philanthropists, and Technologists Can Build An Equitable World, authors Afua Bruce and Amy Sample Ward make an argument for the inherent links between technology and equity, and how you can help shift our collective relationship to technology and how it is produced and disseminated. The authors, two leaders from the field of equitable design in technology, ask the big questions that help inform both what needs to change in tech and how all of us can make change.
Make sure to join the authors in discussion with moderators Dr. Latanya Sweeney, Daniel Paul Professor of the Practice of Government and Technology at the Harvard Kennedy School and in the Harvard Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Editor-in-Chief of Technology Science, and director and founder of the Data Privacy Lab, and Charlton McIlwain, Vice Provost for Faculty Engagement and Development at New York University, author of Black Software: The Internet & Racial Justice, From the AfroNet to Black Lives Matter.
