The Centers Community Lunches - Digital Safety Crash Course

Date

- 1:00pm

Location

VU 735 (Multicultural Center Multipurpose Room)

Description

"What does it mean to be living in the Age of Technofascism?

Today, we'll talk about it! Specifically, how powerful parties' abuses of technology in today's society oppress communities globally - particularly how these effects are exacerbated for marginalized communities. After contextualizing ourselves, we'll discuss some mitigation strategies (in the form of theoretical frameworks and practical tools) to protect ourselves from some of these invasive practices. Finally, we'll end with a group discussion to answer some lingering questions. Hosted by Jack Hueso, Alma Clark Glass - Kappa Inclusion Assistant.
