The Consentful Tech Project, the Detroit Community Technology Project, And Also Too, and Data 4 Black Lives are thrilled to announce the launch of our new curriculum.
From protecting ourselves to taking care of each other: A curriculum for building and using technology consentfully is meant to support those looking to best use technology in service of care, safety, and consent. It will lay the groundwork with key concepts like data and data bodies, safety vs. security, consent, and how these relate to our individual and collective lives. This curriculum guides readers through the application of these concepts to build consentful cultures and technologies and how to advocate for the adoption of such in their communities.
Join us for the launch on Twitter, Tuesday, Dec. 7 starting at 12pm ET. We will share out the link to the curriculum and have a live discussion about why consentful approaches to tech are so important for our communities, and how we might build consentful tech.
To join the conversation, follow:
When it is released, the curriculum will be free to everyone and can be used in community, classrooms, tech teams, design studios, and by those building internet networks, studying “Big Data”, developing apps or websites, or organizing digitally. It is not exhaustive and is meant to be a living document that grows through a process of application and feedback.
