Race and Technology: A Research Lecture Series

Race and technology are closely intertwined, continuously influencing and reshaping one another. While algorithmic bias has received increased attention in recent years, that is only one of the many ways that technology and race intersect in computer science, public health, digital media, gaming, surveillance, and other domains. To build inclusive technologies that empower us all, we must understand how technologies and race construct one another and with what consequences.

You’re invited to join us as we bring together leading voices at the intersection of race and technology for discussions around data, the internet, justice, genomics, and more. In this virtual speaker series, connect with the distinguished academics and domain experts who are driving this conversation and reshaping the future of research in tech.

The lectures will be presented monthly from 10 AM to 11 AM Pacific Time on the day of the event and will be followed by a live Q&A session with the speaker. Recordings of the complete sessions will be available on demand. (Microsoft, A Research Lecture Series)
