Advocacy in Technology and Society/Advocacy

= In class edit-a-thon activity = In this activity, you will be contributing resources to our course's 'living syllabus', building towards a class bibliography. In your group, share what you're reading (books, chapters, or articles), listening to (podcasts or other audio), and/or what you're watching (video or other media, e.g. lectures, TED talks.) on emerging tech and society. Draw on what we read for class, what you read for reflections, and/or what you've read in other classes that interacts with our class material. Each group member should contribute at least one resource.

Goal:  Contribute resources on this topic, broadly framed. Please share citations and a brief summary about your contributions.

Format:  Each contribution should include the following:


 * APA citation of the resource
 * Type of Resource: Book, chapter, article, podcast, etc.
 * Brief summary of the resource
 * Name of Contributor (that's you! if you choose to include it)

Here is an example of what that would look like when you add it to the page: With your group, build out this page with your contributions. To avoid any issues, one person should edit the page at a time.
