On Teaching What Is Not Valued, But Is Still Needed

Tech & Sensibility comes from my engagements with technology both professionally as a journalist and in academia as a professor. It is a play on Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility, that notion of striking a balance in life between logic (sense) and emotion (sensibility). Yet, this is also about the tensions within the notion of balancing the two. Tech & Sensibility looks at the intersections of technology: race, gender, sexuality, culture, identity, nation, and more and invites us to explore both the tensions and the delicate acts of balance that we employ daily.
