Illinois Tech Hosts Third Annual Lewis College Roundtable to Explore Benefits and Disadvantages to Technology Access
Chicago, IL — October 9, 2017 —
Lewis College of Human Sciences at Illinois Institute of Technology will host its third annual Lewis College Roundtable at 3:30 p.m. on Thursday, October 12, 2017 in the McCormick Tribune Campus Center (MTCC) Auditorium.
Lewis College of Human Sciences engages in compelling work at the intersection of people and technology and strives to create cross-disciplinary dialogue. The roundtable reflects that mission. Invited panelists, ranging from academics to industry experts from across the country, will participate in a 90-minute moderated discussion about power and access. Their unique perspectives will challenge guests to think more deeply about topics of far-reaching significance.
In a society that is dependent on technology more than ever before, this year’s roundtable will explore questions related to the access of technology. Who has access to technology? How does technology provide the power to control people or things? Has technology blurred the boundaries of work and personal lives? How has technology changed the lives of people with disabilities?
