In this week’s episode, we bring you a conversation about, well, how we have conversations. Listeners of this podcast, students who have taken my class, and anyone who has heard me talk about ethics and technology in public has heard me talk about the importance of civil discourse. In an age of Twitter feuds, Facebook shouting matches, and an online culture of escalating arguments, learning the skills of talking to one another is more important—and less understood—than ever.
That is why, this week, I invited the founder of the Open Dyalog movement, Zahabiya Nuruddin, to join me this week to talk about how, in a time when we interact with one another increasingly online, through our tech, we can practice the ethics of civil discourse. The head of research for the “Technically Human” team, Sakina Nuruddin, co-hosts this week's show. Sakina is the founder of the Cal Poly chapter of Open Dyalog.
Interested in Open Dyalog? Contact Sakina at snuruddi@calpoly.edu.
Thanks for listening! We are off next week for the Thanksgiving break—we’ll return the first week of December for our final episode of the Technically Human season.
