Organized by Traveling Theories Rackham Interdisciplinary Workshop
Title: Indigenous communities  and algorithmic systemsSpeaker: Dipto Das, Postdoctoral Fellow, Department of Computer Science & Faculty of Information, University of Toronto.Dipto Das is a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Computer Science and the Faculty of Information at the University of Toronto. Their research in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) explores how sociotechnical systems facilitate sociopolitical discourse among diverse communities and how these platforms can be designed and governed to promote greater equity and fairness while accommodating differing and often conflicting norms and values. Their work examines how fairness in the downstream applications of algorithmic systems, particularly in the governance of online platforms within culturally diverse communities, is conceptualized and negotiated. Drawing from his research, Das will discuss the experiences of local and Indigenous communities with algorithmic systems in this talk.Date: April 10th, 2025TIme: 2: 30 pm - 4 :00 pmVenue: HybridNorth Quad 5450, University of Michigan.Zoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/94307093919
