Vote for our 2019 SXSWedu submission “Teaching Social Advocacy in the Digital Age”

Posted on August 7, 2018

It’s SXSWedu PanelPicker time! We hope to return to Austin this March, but we need your help to get there!

Our submission this year is about how social media and VR are thought to encourage less human contact; however, young people can be taught to use these tools to build rather than damage empathy. During this session, our speakers – Director of the Hiatt Center Liz Latour and Global History Department Head Yolanda Wilcox-González – will examine how to teach students to leverage their social emotional skills while using technology. By prompting students to rethink their social networks as avenues for cultural change, we will explore the dimensions of digital advocacy and discuss how educators can teach their students to wield their social handles for good.

Read more – and vote – for our submission.
