Who Will Lead Us?
Description:
In today's world, the very foundation of democracy relies on citizens and institutions to understand the digital. Schools, colleges, companies and governments play a critical role in developing common language about digital media. The stakes are high. We can't govern tech companies if we don’t have a public language to talk about tech and values. In this panel, a group of scholar-activists will lead you on a journey of agenda setting. How do we talk about the stakes of a technological society?
