Sociotechs Podcast

Every episode of Sociotechs aims to uncover and understand the intersection of technology and society, exploring how digital technologies are designed and employed to participate in an already existing complex social fabric. It relies on the voices of speakers from the academic, activist and civil society worlds to untangle the design and politics of sociotechnical artefacts, with a view of imagining fairer technologies.

While academic publishing is essential for the development of human knowledge, we are mindful of the fact that its paywalls and constraints make it accessible to a very niche community. This podcast is an effort to bring some of these critical discussions around sociotechnical systems to a broader audience. In doing so, we hope to spark and engage in deeper conversations about the state of the world with the help of our fellow researchers. This not only allows us to put forth the research that has been happening but give space for a narrative and a dialogue to develop between us, our speakers, and our listeners.

You can listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Amazon Music or wherever you get your daily dose of podcasts. Episodes come out every other week starting from the 1st of August, 2023. Feel free to reach us at sociotechspodcast@gmail.com for feedback, suggestions, and guest requests.
