Description

ENG: 
How can we design technological systems that take into account the actual needs of communities? Can we avoid surveillance and the deterioration of our social fabrics because of our technologies?
In this episode, Marysol Ortega and Sofía Bosch talk with Lilly Irani –Associate Professor at UC San Diego and ethnographer of work– about bringing a social justice and activist lens into the work of designers and technologists. Lilly's inisights demonstrate we are far from from actually practicing our disciplines ethically and leaves room for reflection: as designers, what is the impact we want our work to have in our communities?

¿Cómo podemos diseñar sistemas tecnológicos que tomen en cuenta las necesidades reales de nuestras comunidades? ¿Podemos evitar la vigilancia y el deterioro de nuestros tejidos sociales debido a nuevas tecnologías?
En este epidosido, Marysol Ortega y Sofía Bosch conversan con Lilly Irani –Profesora Asociada en la Universidad de California en San Diego y etnografa del trabajo– sobre conjuntar una labor de justicia social y activismo en el trabajo de diseñadores y desarrolladores tecnológicos. La charla con Lilly nos demuestra que estamos lejos de practicar nuestras disciplinas de forma ética y deja espacio para la reflexión, ¿como diseñadores, cuál es el impacto que queremos que tenga nuestra trabajo en nuestras comunidades?
