Despite widespread celebrations of Twitter Revolutions and social media activism, the relationship between new technology and the social justice goals of peace, freedom, equality and dignity for all people is deeply contradictory. In this talk, Virginia Eubanks will discuss her book, Digital Dead End: Fighting for Social Justice in the Information Age (MIT Press), and reflect on fifteen years of efforts with three grassroots organizations—Our Knowledge, Our Power: Surviving Welfare; the Popular Technology Workshops; and Women at the YWCA Making Social Movement—to make technology serve the needs of oppressed and exploited people in the United States.
