THE PERFECTO PROJECT:
Storytelling, Race, and Recognition in Human-Computer Interaction
|
|
BY ALBERTO QUINTERO | March 10, 2022
This story is part of a series written by CCSRE's Public Writing Fellows.
Perfecto Flores is a middle-aged Mexican-American carpenter who leads a prototypical suburban life. He's happily married to Alicia, and they have two grown-up children, José, who is a single father, and Verónica, who recently got engaged. To all appearances, Perfecto’s life is simple and ordinary, almost perfect. But the truth is that the threat of a health catastrophe looms large on the horizon.
Read the full story here, which incorporates interviews with Associate Director of Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence James Landay (Computer Science) and Director of CCSRE Paula Moya (English), who are collaborators on the design of The Perfecto Project, a culturally-specific health app.

Teaching Asian American history in its complexity can help fight racism
The Washington Post | March 15, 2022
San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors recently ushered in the Year of the Tiger by passing a resolution of apology to “all Chinese immigrants and their descendants who … were the victims of systemic and institutional racism, xenophobia, and discrimination.” The cities of Antioch, San Jose and Los Angeles had earlier issued their own formal apologies to Chinese Americans. And New Jersey recently joined Illinois as only the second state to require public schools to teach Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) history.

ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE FORUM |
|
April 22, 2022 | 8AM - 12:30PM
Freight and Salvage Theater
2020 Allston Way | Berkeley, CA 94704
Environmental and social justice can drive a successful brownfield project by integrating early engagement between property owners, developers, and the community. This tactic leads to better planned and more successful projects in the long-run. How can success be driven by an understanding of the local culture and character of the community? How can you build an environmental justice framework for your brownfield project which is informed by local conditions, as well as the policies supported by your local municipality?
Please note, this event is free and presented by the Center for Creative Land Recycling.
