Join us for a monthly gathering that explores critical insights on the intersections and implications of digital dependencies with democratic norms and civil society values and actors. The Digital Civil Society Speaker Series is a thought-provoking forum that brings together leading experts and scholars to discuss pressing issues shaping our digital world.

The Digital Civil Society Lab is delighted to be joined by Dr. Karen Levy who will discuss her book, Data Driven: Truckers, Technology, and the New Workplace Surveillance.

In this talk, Karen Levy will describe how digital surveillance is upending life and work for long-haul truckers on the open road. She’ll explore how legal mandates support new forms of managerial surveillance, and the real impacts AI is beginning to have on truckers’ work.

The speaker series is open to anyone who wishes to engage with critical insights on the intersections and implications of digital dependencies with democratic norms and civil society values and actors. It is structured a as hybrid experience, allowing you to choose whether you’d like to attend in person or join us virtually. Light refreshments and snacks will be provided.
