This week, we take a deep dive into remote proctoring, the increasingly pervasive technology that’s tracking children and adults at home, even in the privacy of their bedrooms. Then, for Stranger Than Science, we take a break from this gloomy technology to look back at Snow Crash, one of the greatest scifi novels ever written. Author Neal Stephenson.
Our guest today is Dr. Chris Gilliard. He is a writer, professor and speaker. His scholarship concentrates on digital privacy, and the intersections of race, class, and technology. He is an advocate for critical and equity-focused approaches to tech in education. His work has been featured in The Chronicle of Higher Ed, EDUCAUSE Review, Fast Company, Vice, and Real Life Magazine.
