Listen Later

Hello one and all and welcome to our 5th episode!

In this one we get to talk to Dr. Anna Lauren Hoffmann, an Assistant Professor at the University of Washington's iSchool who's working at the intersections of data, technology, culture, and ethics. We get to dive into what she's working on right now as well as some of the ideas behind information activism and intersectionality within tech. It doesn't stop there and we even get down to the root of what "technology" means in today's age and how the way we think about it affects what kind of labor we value. If you want that explained better than I can, pop in those earbuds and let Dr. Hoffmann grow your brain a couple sizes!
