Info City lecture: Jack Qiu
Jack Qiu, professor in the Chinese University of Hong Kong School of Journalism and Communication, will give a talk on his study of tech factory workers in China, this basis of his book, Goodbye iSlave: A Manifesto for Digital Abolition.
Now in its ninth year, the Info City Lectures are hosted by the iSchool's Community Informatics Research Lab headed by Associate Professor Kate Williams. Begun as the Digital Divide Lecture Series, the series looks at how everyday people in varied arenas are navigating the digital age with all its new ways of working and living. It acknowledges that librarians and information professionals can and must keep up with how people are learning and using technology in actual communities.
