Description

Deb Donig is a professor at Cal Poly where she teaches digital humanities, ethical technology, and diversity, equity, and inclusion. Deb also co-leads the Ethical Technology Project and hosts the Technically Human Podcast where she explores the relationship between humans and the technologies we create. Today we discuss what role the humanities should play in the development of the products we build, how we can build more diverse and inclusive teams, and what role science fiction has played in shaping the world we live in today.
