Political & Advocacy
Founded in 2020, Tech for Social Good (T4SG) creates cross-campus dialogues to explore the social/cultural/political dimensions of digital technologies and the culture of contemporary technological institutions. We work with social good oriented student orgs and non-profits on technical projects and contribute to equity, and advocate for curricula that help every student learn and define their own career path in tech.Our work is expanding and currently entails the following three areas:
creating dialogues (via panels, workshops, etc) inside and outside of the classroom around the social/cultural/political dimensions of digital technologies and current technologist communities
pushing for curricular change in (1) engineering departments to make sure technical students understand the social context in which they are building their technology in, as well as being aware of how their own background and social identities result in unintentional negligence and potential harm; (2) non-engineering departments to make sure students are familiar with the ways technology impacts them and basic understanding of how they might use it for their own pursuits
.working on technical projects that contribute to equity. This includes collaborations with social good oriented student orgs and non-profits, as well as student-led projects in different areas.Join us to define T4SG from your own perspective!
