Jason Mogus will be the speaker moderator for the Technology as a Catalyst for Social Change panel at the upcoming Doxa Documentary Film Festival.
Public Forum:
Free admission
It is almost a truism that changing new technologies can foster social change; that the Internet, social networking sites, webcams and public security cameras are changing the way human beings interact, exchange information and build cyber communities is also well understood. We accept this even though most of us don’t quite understand the how of it. How are these new interactive technologies actually creating communities of change? How does using technology alter traditional community development? What, if any, is the long term impact of these emergent forms of media in social development?
DOXA presents a live and online forum for web gurus, social marketing specialists and media specialists to debate, provoke and challenge our assumptions about new media technologies in this web-altered universe.
Panel: Friday May 30th, 3:00-4:30 pm in the Vancity Theatre. Free admission!
