The Role of Emergent Technologies in Equitable Futures: Navigating Between Entrenched Injustices and Expansive Possibilities

Sun, April 14, 9:35 to 11:05am, Pennsylvania Convention Center, Floor: Level 100, Room 107B

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

The use of emergent technologies in learning environments create an unique quandary for designers and educators committed to equitable outcomes. On the one hand, emergent technologies create seemingly endless possibilities for education; advances in artificial intelligence like ChatGPT grip the national discourse. On the other hand, historical racial injustice actively shapes the design, evaluation, and the very imagination of what emergent technologies should and should not do in educational space. This session brings together four groups of education and computer science researchers who have candidly embraced this tension, and have worked to surface or develop concrete practices and tools that support interdisciplinary partnerships in building imagined worlds that forefront joyful, socially just futures supported by emergent technologies.
