FIGHTING DISCRIMINATIONS . POWER UNBALANCE,
INTERSECTIONAL DOMINANT LOGIC
IN NEW TECHNOLOGIES EVOLUTION
Today it has become clear that the designing and engineering of technological solutions
always entail social and public consequences. To deal with them imply a critical
and transdisciplinary mindset - trained through practice - that looks across products,
services and policies. Such a mindset could be nurtured by familiarizing with the
reflection coming from humanities and social science, in particular regarding media,
post-colonial and gender studies. FIGHTING DISCRIMINATIONS is a cycle of three public lectures that provides theoretical
and conceptual tools (from law, design, and sociology) to prevent and challenge
dysfunctional situations and stimulates the development of proposals aimed at
not harming categories usually at risk of fragility because of age, disability, gender,
religion, ethinicity in the development of new technologies.
