TECHNOLOGY & SOCIAL JUSTICE SERIES:
The Digital Divide / Equality for education
Please join us this Fall for a 4-part conversation series featuring technologists, policy-makers, artists, educators, and other experts of their fields. Each monthly discussion invites new voices and practitioners to reflect upon modern advocacy and the potential to utilize technology to make a difference.

For Part 1, The Digital Divide / Equality for Education, we invite you to an urgent conversation about virtual learning and its unexpected toll upon our school systems as they grapple to maintain equal opportunity for students in the wake of COVID. Teachers, parents, IT specialists, and policy makers confront the responsibility for equitable resources to serve our schools.

“Technology + Social Justice” aims to investigate the impact of innovation upon our communities, and take a close look at both the present and future prospects for social change.
