Hi, everyone!

Just wanted to share the below info regarding a forthcoming Zoom talk (and
subsequent speaking series) via the Center on Digital Culture & Society at
the University of Pennsylvania on March 1, 2021. Professor Jessa Lingel
will be in conversation with Craig Newmark, founder of craigslist and Craig
Newmark Philanthropies, and together, they will examine the web we have,
the web we could have and the spaces of autonomy and creativity that thrive
in between.

In the hopes that you are able to join,

JESSA LINGEL
*The Center on Digital Culture and Society
<https://t.e2ma.net/click/2dep0c/2pb3ug/acmoug> presents a virtual talk
with Craig Newmark, founder of craigslist and Craig Newmark Philanthropies,
and Jessa Lingel, Associate Professor of Communication at the Annenberg
School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania. Bridging
industry and scholarship, this dialogue will reflect on the web we have,
the web we could have and the spaces of autonomy and creativity that thrive
in between.  *
*About the Talk: *The internet has let us down. From promises of democratic
inclusion to radical reinvention of everyday life, early hype about the
internet has given way to skeptical cynicism, thanks to misinformation,
hate speech, industry elitism, hacks and privacy harms. Suspicions about
the internet are well-founded, but are they the whole story? This talk
describes how we got the web we have and what it would take to build
something different. Associate Professor Jessa Lingel draws on her research
on digital culture to discuss themes of online publics, ethical design and
digital practices in conversation with Craig Newmark, founder of craigslist
and Craig Newmark Philanthropies. Bringing together internet studies
scholarship with industry expertise, this dialogue will reflect on the
changing values of digital tech, with a focus on the websites, platforms
and communities that have carved out spaces of autonomy, creativity and
hope.
*About the Speakers: **Craig Newmark
<https://t.e2ma.net/click/2dep0c/2pb3ug/q4moug>* is a Web pioneer,
philanthropist, and leading advocate. Most commonly known for founding the
online classified ads service craigslist, Newmark works to support and
connect people and drive broad civic engagement. In 1995, Newmark started
curating a list of San Francisco arts and technology events, which he
personally emailed to friends and colleagues. People were soon calling it
"Craig's List," and when Newmark turned it into a company, he monetized it
minimally, opting for a business model that prioritized "doing well by
doing good." Today, more than 5 billion ads have been posted on the site,
the vast majority for free. Newmark has not been involved in the day-to-day
management of the company since 2000. In 2016, he founded Craig Newmark
Philanthropies to advance people and grassroots organizations that are
“getting stuff done” in areas that include trustworthy journalism & the
information ecosystem, voter protection, women in technology, and veterans
& military families. Newmark serves on the board of directors of a number
of organizations, including Blue Star Families, the Center for Public
Integrity, Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at the City
University of New York, Girls Who Code, Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of
American, Poynter Foundation, Sunlight Foundation, VetsinTech, and Women in
Public Service Project. He also serves on the Board of Overseers of the
Columbia Journalism Review and on the advisory board of nearly twenty other
nonprofit organizations, including DonorsChoose.org, EFF, New America
Foundation, Voto Latino, Wikimedia Foundation, and Women Who Tech. Born in
Morristown, New Jersey, Newmark holds degrees in computer science from Case
Western Reserve University.

*Jessa Lingel <https://t.e2ma.net/click/2dep0c/2pb3ug/6wnoug>*is an
associate professor at the Annenberg School for Communication and core
faculty in the Gender, Sexuality and Women’s Studies Program at
the University of Pennsylvania.  She received her PhD in communication and
information from Rutgers University.  She has an MLIS from Pratt
Institute and an MA in gender studies from New York University.  Her
research interests include digital inequalities and technological
distributions of power. Using qualitative methods, Lingel studies how
marginalized and countercultural groups use and reshape digital media.
