Speakers and talks
Our speakers are:
Digital Anthropologist - Indrani Lahiri: "The BRIC-IT magic"
From naughty lists to resilient kids: empowering the 'why' generation, Indrani's talk is titled "The BRIC-IT magic". The talk will focus on the transformative journey of building resilience in children and adults through the BRIC (Building Resilience in Children) project. It explores the importance of equipping children as well as adults with tools to navigate authority and power constructively, redefining resilience as having the confidence and skills to adapt and grow. Indrani will share her personal journey, from securing funding through HEIF and Ventureversity to developing workshops and initiatives like Children in Times of Corona. Drawing from her experience as an academic, a parent, and a resilience-building advocate, she will share insights on how we can empower children to ask “why”, distribute authority thoughtfully, and foster resilience through meaningful dialogue.
Human Data Interaction researcher - Fabiana Anselmo: "Empowering users in the world of IoT"
Join Fabiana for an engaging discussion on how we can make the repair and maintenance of domestic Internet of Things (IoT) devices more accessible to everyone. Based on her research, Fabiana will share insights into design changes and public policies that can enhance user agency and understanding. She'll explore the importance of giving users the ability to protect and make informed decisions about their
data and software. Let's work together to create a future where everyone can confidently manage their smart devices!
