Speaker: Mar Hicks

Description: On the eve of Women’s History Month, we have invited Data Science Professor, Author, and Historian Mar Hicks to discuss their book ‘Programmed Inequality: How Britain Discarded Women Technologists and Lost Its Edge in Computing.’ We will also discuss their co-edited volume, ‘Your Computer is on Fire,’ which presents a variety of case studies from leading scholars of technology and society to help connect the history of technology to our current, pressing problems with high tech. Join us on February 29 as the leading historian of our times shares urgent lessons from Britain’s missteps for other nations, especially the United States as it seeks to retain its leadership position in AI amidst a growing diversity crisis.
