SUMMARY:Algorithms & Extremism Presented by Dr. Anna Floerke Scheid
DESCRIPTION:How do social media algorithms contribute to online radicalization and extremism? \nHow do search algorithms contribute to political violence\, like the January 6 riot at the U.S. capitol?\n\nIn our first Tech Ethics Colloquium of the year\, Dr. Scheid will offer practical suggestions to curb online radicalization and to advocate for legislation that requires responsible social media algorithms.\n\nDr. Anna Scheid\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Anna Scheid started teaching at Duquesne University in 2007. During her time here\, she has taught courses in ethics\, theology\, religion and politics\, religion and global conflict\, Catholic Social Thought\, and faith-based activism. While Dr. Scheid’s research interests are in the area of Christian social ethics\, she is particularly concerned with ethical issues surrounding human rights\, conflict\, and post-conflict reconciliation.  She explores Christian perspectives on war and peace-especially just war theory and just peacemaking theory-and studies how restorative justice has been enacted in truth and reconciliation commissions around the world. \nDr. Scheid believes a key to higher education lies in building trust and community within the classroom. She works in helping students to identify what they are passionate about so they can direct their work toward those passions. This teaching philosophy has been evident in Dr. Scheid’s work with undergraduate students on research presented at the Undergraduate Research Symposium\, with several students having won awards under her mentorship. \nDr. Scheid is also the co-chair for the Day for Learning and Speaking Out (DLSO) against Racial Injustice. \nIN PERSON EVENT\nTuesday\, September 17\, 12 p.m.\nDuquesne University\n600 Forbes Avenue\nPittsburgh\, PA 15282\nStudent Union\, Room 119 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBring your lunch. Drinks and snacks will be provided!
