Join Problematizing Education & Digital Technology Community Discussion Feb. 19

Researchers, educators, activists, parents, and students are invited to come together on Wed., Feb. 19, to discuss some of today’s most pressing questions about the future of education technology (EdTech), including:

What are some issues regarding EdTech in the Greater Lafayette area?
What harms are we seeing with digital technology in our schools and universities?
What role are Big Tech companies or policymakers playing?
And finally, what possibilities and hopes do we have for the future?

Purdue’s Tech Justice Lab (TJL), Governance and Responsible AI Lab (GRAIL), Innovation Hub, and Center for Instructional Excellence (CIE) invite you to attend this discussion as part of the Critical Studies of Education and Technology (CSET) 2025 worldwide event. This is a hybrid event, onsite at the Klondike Branch of the Tippecanoe County Public Library and on Zoom.
