Description
I hosted an energised session in the Jack Cole building as part of the School of Computer Science’s Doors Open programme. Our aim? To invite people into a conversation we believe needs to be more public, more grounded, and more collaborative: how can universities and communities work together to shape a more ethical digital future?
This session, Co-Designing Ethical Digital Futures: The University–Community Gateway, was co-organised by Abd Alsattar Ardati, researchers from SACHI (our Human-Computer Interaction group here at St Andrews) and the IDEA Network, a cross-university initiative working on community-led research and open knowledge.
Together, we welcomed participants into a relaxed and interactive 45-minute workshop built around one simple premise: the technologies shaping our lives should reflect the values, needs, and voices of the people most impacted by them.
