Dear Michael,
I hope this email finds you well. I know that when I did the ITP program, a
topic that came up often was algorithms of oppression and so for that
reason, so I wanted to share with everyone that I am running a PD on *April
26 Wednesday from 12pm-2p*m, which will include a very special guest, *AI
ethicist Renee Cummings who will join from 1pm-2pm*. Please share with the
current/past ITP community who may be interested in this zoom event.
Anyone is welcome to join for part of it or stay for the whole thing (note
if you come for the 1st half, you may end up in a breakout room with STEM
tutors).
