Voices in Protest Panels

DISCO ‘Voices in Protest’ is a new panel series hosted by the Digital Afterworlds Lab (PI: Lisa Nakamura). Aimed to bring a new perspective to public scholarship, this programming series will invite public intellectuals, journalists, programmers, and technologists to the University of Michigan campus for public conversations about pressing issues in digital culture and justice. These events will be recorded and broadcasted through different digital platforms, such as short- and long-form videos or podcasts.
