Intersectional Tech: From the Hood to the Holler with Dr. Kishonna L. Gray

Join Lincoln Center for Applied Ethics for our 2024 Visiting Scholar Distinguished Lecture: “Intersectional Tech: From the Hood to the Holler” with Dr. Kishonna L. Gray.

Dr. Gray is the Director of the Intersectional Tech Lab, a Mellon-funded initiative, at the University of Kentucky, where she is an Associate Professor in Writing, Rhetoric, & Digital Studies and Africana Studies. She is also a Faculty Associate at the Berkman-Klein Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University and an alum of ASU’s School for Social Transformation. Her scholarship interrogates the impact that technology has on culture and how minoritized users, in particular, influence the creation of technological products.

In her talk, “Intersectional Tech: From the Hood to the Holler,” Dr. Gray will discuss her work as a digital media scholar, how game studies can help us to understand the relationship between democracy and dis/misinformation, and her latest innovations in community-engaged research at the intersections of tech, race, and ethics. This event will be accessible both in-person at ASU’s Tempe campus as well as online via Zoom.
