CDHI Lightning Lunch: Digital Ecologies
September 24 @ 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm EDT
Our first Lightning Lunch of 2024-25 will reflect on Digital Ecologies on Tuesday, September 24, 2024, 12:00-1:30 pm. Technology is fundamental to the work that Digital Humanities researchers conduct. But what are the environmental costs of an increasingly technological world? Do certain groups or regions gain unequal benefits from or bear unequal costs of technological advancement? Are there ways that tech and social media can be a force for good in addressing climate crisis? Dr. Heidi Craig, Dr. Hanna E. Morris, and Dr. Frank Wania will speak to the intersections of technology and the natural world, and the role of DH research in untangling these complexities.
This in-person lunch will be held in the Jackman Humanities Institute boardroom (170 St George Street, Room 1040) on the St. George Campus.
Advanced registration is required.
