Event Details
The history of the Internet and racial justice is far older than the hashtag. In Black Software, McIlwain showcases the Black technologists who built modern computing. The event will be moderated by Jasmine Sun (Stanford Sociology), Jessica Dai (Brown CS), and Deblina Mukherjee (UChicago Sociology).
This event series is hosted and managed by Reboot, which is an event series and newsletter that convenes book-lovers, writers, and technologists to imagine the future of tech, humanity, and power.
