For the 2022 Richard Noss Lecture, Sherry Turkle will discuss her latest book The Empathy Diaries: A Memoire. In the book, Turkle brings together her decades-long, path-breaking research on technology, empathy, and ethics, which has provided an ethnography of our digital world and shown how we remake ourselves in the mirror of our machines.
This event will be particularly useful for those interested in technology, education and social sciences.
