Sheffield Skeptics in the Pub: Is digital technology good for society?

Monday 16 October, 7.30pm – 8.30pm

Farm Road Sports & Social Club, Sheffield, S2 2TP

In this talk, our Director Helen Kennedy will explain why it’s important to think about what a good digital society should look like. Exploring this widely contested topic, she will map out the varied ways that government policies and researchers from different disciplines conceive of the digital good, showing that, in research and policy circles, there has been far more attention to digital harms than to the digital good.

Just come along to join this event.
