Digital Lineages and Digital Labor - Mar Hicks

This talk looks at how digital systems and labor, historically and in our current moment, can be a way to discuss citizenship rights. The talk will discuss an early example of transphobic algorithmic bias to explore how histories of the digital can connect with movements to protect people’s rights today.

Mar Hicks is Associate Professor of History at Illinois Institute of Technology.

This talk is presented by the Digital Humanities Pedagogy Graduate Student Workshop of the Kaplan Humanities Institute.
