SUMMARY:Data Fluencies Speaker Series - Fallon Wilson
DESCRIPTION:Fallon Wilson from the Black Tech Futures Research Institute will present on the Black Tech Ecosystem Index. \nAbout Dr. Wilson: \nThrough her work with non-profits\, academia\, and government partnerships\, Dr. Fallon S. Wilson\nstrives to make visible the work of historic and modern-day Black crises solvers. As the Lead\nPrincipal Investigator for #BlackTechFutures Research Institute\, which she co-founded with Melissa\nBrown-Sims\, M.A.\, Fallon engages in community action that creates change in her community and\nacross the US. The Institute’s work\, funded in part by the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation’s\n2020 Open Knowledge grant\, builds a national network of city-based researchers and practitioners\nconducting research on sustainable local Black tech ecosystems\, especially within underrepresented\ncommunities. Fallon serves as the Vice President of Policy for the Multicultural Media and\nTelecommunication Internet Council (MMTC) through which she launched a national campaign\,\n“Black Churches 4 Digital Equity\,” to support digital access in Black communities. The campaign\nwas so successful that she launched a national faith based civic tech fellowship\, “Black Churches for\nDigital Equity.”\nAdditionally\, Fallon’s research on first-generation Black college students’ alternative tech pathways\nand Black tech ecosystems has garnered notable research grants from the Kapor Center\, the\nKauffman Foundation\, and the Ford Foundation\, among others. Her TEDx–Nashville presentation of\nStop Ignoring Black Women and Hear of Our Tech Prophecies eloquently addresses the intersection\nof historical reality for Black women\, spirituality\, and technology. Fallon holds a Bachelor of Arts in\nPolitical Science from Spelman College and a Master of Arts in Political Science and a Doctor of\nPhilosophy in Social Service Administration from the University of Chicago. \nThis presentation is part of the Data Fluencies Speaker Series\, co-sponsored by the Ahmanson Lab/Harman Academy at the University of Southern California and the Social Science Research Council Just Tech Program. \nEmail ddi_comms@sfu.ca for details and Zoom link.
