Talks & Presentations
I regularly give talks and webinars on the social impacts of educational technology (EdTech) and the broader intersections of technology and society. Recent topics have included case studies on AI-driven textbooks in South Korea, the rise of surveillance and dataveillance in public education, critical and social justice approaches to EdTech, education futures, and emerging directions in education policy. A selection of recent presentations is listed below, with links to slides and media. Please feel free to contact me if you are interested in arranging a talk or visit with your group or institution.
