The UBC Vancouver School of Nursing is pleased to announce the 55th annual Marion Woodward Lecture, Life, Death, and Data: Imagining Possible Futures for Care Work in an A.I. Era, on Thursday, October 26, 2023.
Dr. Rae Walker joins us to speculate, question, and provoke discussion about care work and nursing’s commitments at a time when big data and A.I. are rapidly escalating against the backdrop of a global pandemic, structural oppressions and a climate emergency. Drawing on principles of design justice, data feminism, community accountability and consentful tech, we critically examine how we arrived at this moment, then turn to imagine new and more liberatory futures for care – of each other, our communities, and our digital bodies.
