12th Annual Civil Discourse Symposium

What is our collective responsibility for how we talk to one another in this country? How much do our individual choices online influence public discourse? How might algorithms and artificial intelligence influence our online participation?
Join us for our annual Padnos/Sarosik Civil Discourse Symposium, Ethics & Responsibility in Online Spaces. In partnership with Digital Studies, it invites us to reflect on how public discourse is shaped by our individual participation online, and how our critical engagement with digital technologies can help us resist these influences.
