Race, Justice & Technology

Technology is not race-neutral. Over the past few years, scholars and activists have begun to surface the ways in which emerging technologies—among them predictive policing, risk assessment tools, diagnostic algorithms, and facial recognition technologies—are further entrenching systems of racialized surveillance and oppression. Join us in conversation with Amélie-Sophie Vavrovsky (Formally, CodeX) and Shakeer Rahman (Stop LAPD Spying Coalition) to discuss technology, racism, abolition, and the grassroots movements that are working to hold these emerging technologies accountable.
