Description

Social media and tech platforms are somehow even more relevant to the world than they were before the pandemic. Zoom is how businesses and students communicate; social media platforms like Twitter and Instagram are how information about COVID-19 and racial injustices are communicated. Join us in this conversation with Margaret O’Mara, a Howard and Frances Keller endowed professor of History at the University of Washington, to learn more about how tech relates to urban environments, higher education, and more. You can find O’Mara’s information here: https://www.margaretomara.com/bio.
