#EthicalCS and promoting equity in computer science curriculum

Very excited to have on the show James Z. B. Vanié, Shane Strassberg, and Hector Fabian Nandez, veterans from the U.S. military who decided to pursue careers in design after their service. The topic of military service is incredibly loaded as most of us liberal-leaning folx advocate for demilitarization and are contributors to the stigma against individuals who've served, when we should be addressing larger systems of colonization and capitalism. During this talk we'll hear about what these vets learned during their deployment and how they've translated that into insights about humanity and behavioral change.

Stupid Hackathon is the "one-day event where participants conceptualize and create projects that have no value whatsoever. The years of 2016-17 have become a span of time when "stupid has gone mainstream and become normalized, and satire is no longer valuable." Our politics and media now are so inundated with the stupid that we confuse what is really at stake. Do we agree that whatever's going on now is just a big stupid hackathon?

I got my Internet Reincarnation Autobiography read on the air. Small Data Squad (Melanie Hoff and Dan Taeyoung) have thoroughly found all embarrassing versions of my internet self to paint a picture that will show me who I was then, and who I really am now. Along with that we discussed how scary big (and small) data is and what tactics we might have in subverting the panopticon!
