SUMMARY:A Call for Civic-minded Technologists
DESCRIPTION:Engineering’s “culture of disengagement” (Cech 2014) casts a long shadow on society. The anemic civic philosophy\, preached by lauded tech heroes\, pretends politics and power don’t apply to technology\, that we can reduce most problems to technical challenges\, and that meritocracy is justice. There are bright spots—individual\, civic-minded technologists; the Tech Workers Coalition; the Public Interest Technology University Network\, and the Tech Stewardship Program. But they are insufficient. To address the challenges of our contemporary society\, democracy\, and sociotechnical systems\, we need to understand technology’s civic landscape\, reframe the technical expert’s role in democracy\, and cultivate engineers to be civic professionals. \nWhere: SNF Agora Conference Room and Zoom
