COMD Students and Faculty, Come and get the missing piece of your Design Education This Friday, November 3rd at 11:30AM in P117
Dr. Dori Tunstall is in town on her Decolonizing Design book tour and just offered to squeeze us in on THIS FRIDAY. As a program committed to increasing the variety of voices making a living with their imagination, it is imperative that you learn how to rethink the design process to include the missing pieces. Do not miss this opportunity beginning at 11:30 sharp this Friday!
“In Decolonizing Design Tunstall offers an on-the-ground look at the ways modernist design has colonized and oppressed Indigenous, Black, Asian, and Latinx communities, and offers practical and forward-looking ways of rethinking design. Tunstall is clear-eyed in her account of the difficulty of the work and the wounds it might open in the effort to heal and connect.”
Join us for an exciting lunchtime presentation and discussion: AI For The People Leader Mutale Nkonde will discuss algorithmic bias and its impact on education, health, finance, and career. How can better policies mitigate these issues? Open to All Majors! Refreshments provided.
While AI can create discriminatory practices, it also has the potential to address and mitigate bias when used responsibly and ethically. It requires a concerted effort from developers, policymakers, and users to ensure AI is a force for positive change and not a source of discriminatory practices. Please join us for an exciting discussion with Mutale Nkonde, Leader of AI For The People, as she discusses algorithmic bias and its influence in higher education. Mutale will also discuss her work around informing policies to ensure discriminatory practices are not enshrined in our institutions that increasingly rely on AI to communicate with the public. COMD Professor George Garrastegui, Jr, will lead the discussion.
