2 - 'Race After Technology': Breaking Down the New Jim Code

Update: 2021-02-11

Description

In the spirit of Black History Month, today we're talking about our latest Overbooked Book Club choice – Race After Technology,

Marchers Zorina Akhund and Franki Darnold take us through a brief background on the book’s author, Ruha Benjamin and her achievements as a writer and professor. They also cover few major themes of the book – including, how racism is deeply engrained in technology, Benjamin’s coined phrase: “The New Jim Code,” and how discriminatory design impacts the way we interact with tech. Finally, Zorina and Franki answer the overarching question of Race After Technology: Are robots racist?
