Technology shapes how we relate, learn, work, and even imagine the future—but who controls it, and for whose benefit? In this episode of The Power of Partnership Podcast, Paola Ricuarte Quijano, Associate Professor at Tecnológico de Monterrey and co-founder of Tierra Común, explores how digital tools can perpetuate domination—or become catalysts for equity and care. From addressing gender disparities in AI and expanding access to technology, to supporting community-owned innovations and challenging harmful narratives, Paola offers concrete examples, from indigenous-led internet networks to data activism against gender violence, showing how partnership-based approaches can make technology serve the common good.
