tech, ethics and consciousness...for all life
Tuesday, October 5th, 12pm Pacific
Register on Eventbrite for this and other sessions.
Riffing off Zach Stein’s talk on Sept. 28, in this session we will explore how the Covid 19 pandemic affected our lives, and discuss solutions for moving towards building a sustainable society.
Through the lense of Resilience Theory, we discuss the underlying environmental causes and environmental impacts of the Covid 19 pandemic as well as its impacts on social justice and our collective consciousness. We specifically evaluate how the pandemic highlighted technology’s impacts on our society.
We then discuss the lessons we have learned from the Covid 19 pandemic. How are we rebuilding our society now? What are the important considerations to build a more sustainable future?
Join me for the conversation. How did the Covid 19 pandemic affect your field? What solutions did you think of for moving towards a more just and sustainable society? We look forward to hearing your inputs and adding them to our solutions squad.
