Meet the Author: Christoph Becker discusses his book “Insolvent”

On 29 January (5pm), we’ll discuss the book Insolvent: How to Reorient Computing for Just Sustainability with its author Christoph Becker in the context of Up to Date in STS: Early Career Reading Group.

Christoph Becker is Associate Professor of Information, Director of the Digital Curation Institute, and a member of the School of the Environment at the University of Toronto. In Insolvent he asks and answers how we can enact meaningful change in computing to meet the urgent need for sustainability and justice.

The working group “Up to Date in STS” is a forum for early career researchers (postdocs and docs) who are interested in reading recently published or yet unpublished cutting-edge STS books/book manuscripts and discussing them with the respective authors on a regular basis.

If you are interested in joining this discussion and/or want to join the reading group, please contact Ruzana Liburkina (liburkina@soz.uni-frankfurt.de) and Patrick Bieler (patrick.bieler@tum.de).
