Digital Humanism and LAS Education
Monday, April 1, 2024
9:00 am – 10:30 am
EDT/GMT-4
Online Event
9 AM New York l 3 PM Vienna
The Liberal Arts and Sciences Collaborative presents
Allison Stanger
in a public event where she will facilitate an overview of digital humanism and explore the ways in which digital humanism intersects with liberal arts and sciences education, including in relation to fostering a well-rounded, ethical, and socially responsible approach to knowledge and technology. Stanger will examine how digital humanism and LAS education prepare individuals to navigate the complexities of the digital age with wisdom, empathy, and a commitment to the greater good.
Digital humanism is an emerging approach that addresses the critical role of human values, ethics, and interests in the development and application of digital technologies. It advocates for technology to be designed and deployed in a way that respects human dignity, freedom, and democracy, rather than serving economic or technical efficiency.
This perspective is a response to the growing impact of digital technologies on all aspects of human life, including work, privacy, communication, and governance. Digital humanism calls for a more inclusive and participatory approach to technology development, where the needs and rights of individuals and communities are prioritized. It recognizes the potential of digital technology to enhance human capabilities and address global challenges, and is also critically aware of the risks of surveillance, manipulation, and inequality that can arise from unchecked technological advancement.
Allison Stanger is the Russell Leng ‘60 Professor of International Politics and Economics at Middlebury College, a Co-Director and Principal Investigator at the GETTING-Plurality Research Network (Harvard University), an External Professor and Science Board member at the Santa Fe Institute, and a Senior Advisor to the Hannah Arendt Humanities Network. Recently, Allison was a Research Scholar at the Human-Centered AI Institute (Stanford University).
