RACE, TECH + CIVIL SOCIETY
The Color of Money:
Racial Equity & Inclusion in FinTech
|
|
November 12, 2020 | 3p
Technology has spurred monumental changes in both the financial services industry and civil society. There remain many concerns about how technology reinforces racial discrimination and economic exploitation. There is also a tremendous amount of potential in emerging technologies and innovation that can be harnessed for responsible credit access, for instance, offering tools that were unimaginable only a short time ago.
This panel will discuss the promises and perils of innovation in the context of financial inclusion, fair lending, and the role of policy in fostering economic and racial equity.
Panelists: Kelly Cochran, FinRegLab; Fabrice Coles, Bank Policy Institute; Chi Chi Wu, National Consumer Law Center
Moderator: Courtney Robinson, Square
This event is part of the Race, Tech + Civil Society webinar series presented as a partnership between CCSRE and the Digital Civil Society Lab and is supported by Stanford HAI.

Resisting the "Facebook-ization" of our public spaces |

An open letter from members of the Digital Civil Society Lab |

This story first appeared in Issue One of Rewired.
Protesters across the globe are resisting stay-at-home orders to gather in the streets. Wearing masks and gloves, and defying city government curfews, they risk their health to demand protection for the basic humanity of Black people all over the world. Across American cities, these images of civil disobedience once again heighten the visibility of our country’s formative racialized fissure.
A closer look behind the militarized police force, and these

images reveal another and related menace: one that is more difficult to see, but also threatening to our nation’s promise. That threat is the spider’s web of surveillant control of our digital and physical public spaces.
As a society, we have been slow to understand how our communications on digital platforms are controlled, monitored, and extracted for profit. For almost three decades, scholars and activists have debated the proper rules for online speech even as we too have voluntarily expanded our dependence on the companies and infrastructure at the source of controversy. Even in the wake of Cambridge Analytica, we still believe in these digital platforms’ promises to document our humanity and empower social activism.
...As we come to grips with our power to mobilize over digital systems, however, we must also realize we are repeating this Faustian bargain in our physical spaces. Digital systems now control everything from our energy grid to transportation systems, educational venues to hospitals, manufacturing practices to elections. They govern the places we have for gathering, learning, bonding, buying and selling goods, and for protest. Read the full story here.

The Future of Law & Literature

This year, the Stanford Humanities Center will support a Geballe Workshop Series on “Arts + Justice.” Led by Professor Jisha Menon and the collective energy of graduate students, we hope to engage with scholars and artists on the implications of justice (in all of its range of meanings), including the cultural terrain of law, aesthetics of resistance, practices of restorative justice, and the position of art within these debates. We truly hope you consider joining in these conversations, as we dialogue across departments and disciplines to learn from and with each other.
Panelists: Guyora Binder, Bernadette Meyer, Austin Sarat, and Robert Weisberg.
Moderator: Aishwary Kumar.

Monuments, Murals & Movements:
Reimagining the Art of Social Justice
|
|
NOVEMBER 13 | 12p PT
Challenges to race, memorialization, and icons of power predominate in ongoing social, cultural, and political action and art throughout the summer of 2020. How have social movements redefined public space, articulated social justice issues in artistic form, and defied long-standing icons and monuments ESPECIALLY on University and school grounds? What is at stake in these movements and gestures and how do art and politics work together to reimagine social space, belonging, and power on campuses?
Speakers: Honey Crawford (University of Chicago); Danielle Roper (University of Chicago); Steven O. Roberts (Stanford); Karen Biestman (Stanford)
Moderator: Grant Parker (Stanford)
Presented by the Centering Race Consortium, a collaboration between the Center for the Study of Race and Ethnicity in America at Brown University, the Center for Comparative Studies in Race & Ethnicity at Stanford University, the Center for the Study of Race, Politics and Culture at the University of Chicago, and the Center for the Study of Race, Indigeneity, and Transnational Migration at Yale University.
