This fifth lecture in the Identity & Computing Lecture Series: Understanding Racism and Bias in Computing welcomes Dr. Sasha Constanza-Chock, who works to support community-led processes that build shared power, dismantle the matrix of domination, and advance ecological survival.
This fourth lecture in the Identity & Computing Lecture Series, Understanding Racism and Bias in Computing welcomes Dr. Ebony McGee, who investigates what it means to be racially marginalized while minoritized in the context of learning and achieving in STEM higher education and in the STEM professions.
Speaker Dr. Ebony McGee is an associate professor of diversity and STEM education at Vanderbilt University's Peabody College.
As society continues to charge through a computational revolution, it is imperative that a diverse range of disciplines and groups shape and influence the future of computing and its applications. To date, however, much of computing design, development, and implementation has been dominated by technocentric fields which lack diversity with respect to identity.
This third lecture in the Identity & Computing Lecture Series: Understanding Racism and Bias in Computing welcomes Dr. Ruha Benjamin, who will examine the relationship between machine bias and systemic racism, analyzing specific cases of "discriminatory design" and offering tools for a socially-conscious approach to tech development.
Speaker Dr. Ruha Benjamin is a professor of African American Studies at Princeton University and author of People's Science: Bodies and Rights on the Stem Cell Frontier (Stanford University Press).
From everyday apps to complex algorithms, technology has the potential to hide, speed, and even deepen discrimination, while appearing neutral and even benevolent when compared to racist practices of a previous era. In this talk, Ruha presents the concept of the "New Jim Code" to explore a range of discriminatory designs that encode inequity: by explicitly amplifying racial hierarchies, by ignoring but thereby replicating social divisions, or by aiming to fix racial bias but ultimately doing quite the opposite.
Polis is having an information session about their upcoming art competition.
