Part of the Jean Golding Institute's Bristol Data Week

With a growing acknowledgement of digital harms as a public health issue, interest in ‘tech for social cohesion’ is increasing: technology that builds agency and connections across groups and differences, rather than sparking outrage and toxic polarization. The debate around how to ‘design for health’ acknowledges the role of tech in social engineering and is engaging big and smaller tech players, including Meta, Apple, Google and Tik Tok. Join us for reflections on how to support tech innovation and data science cultures to include wider social justice perspectives.
