About this Event:
Whether any technology has positive or negative impact, to some extent depends on the people that create it, and the way that it is used - these are social factors. So we must ask, what kind of social structures, political, economic, cultural, would support the use of technology in ways that we hope for instead of the dystopian outcomes that we fear? Zarinah Agnew gives a presentation on how we might go about designing social structures for the future, followed by a Q&A with the participants.
Dr. Zarinah Agnew, UCSF, Irrational Labs.
Zarinah is a neuroscientist by day, community builder by all other hours. Their academic research focuses on the neural control of complex voluntary movements of the two most dextrous human effectors, the hands and the articulatory system. Their theory of social change and labour of love focuses on the commons, experimenting with collaborative governance and prefigurative politics. Academic science takes place at UCSF, science in the wild through Irrational Labs, rogue science, all day every day.
