Technology and Racism: An Environment for Violence?

Abstract

On April 23, 2021, Paige Chu presented Technology and Racism: An Environment for Violence? at the Generation Z Congress. The presentation was followed by a moderated question and answer period and further discussion in a moderated break-out room. Key points of discussion included: how technology has allowed for public issues to be absorbed into private spaces, the differential experiences with the use of technology, how technology has been used to perpetuate racism, and the difficulties with holding tech companies accountable.
