Virtual Zoom Event
Public interest technology (PIT) refers to the study and application of technology expertise to advance the public interest, generate public benefits, and promote the public good. Join us to hear from Amira Dhalla, who has spent over a decade in technology working on issues related to digital rights, privacy, security, and equity with global organizations and communities. Together, she works with educators and activists to design participatory curriculum and resources to make emerging technology more inclusive, open, and safe. Most recently she was the Director of Impact Partnerships and Programs with a focus on digital privacy and security at Consumer Reports. Amira works on projects that improve the security and privacy of emerging products and tools in the marketplace, while also tackling topics like discriminatory technologies, deceptive design, and trust and safety.
This event is made possible through support from the Public Interest Technology University Network Challenge Fund, a project under the aegis of the New Venture Fund. Generous backing from esteemed entities like the Ford Foundation, Hewlett Foundation, Mastercard Impact Fund via Mastercard Center for Inclusive Growth, Schmidt Futures, and The Siegel Family Endowment fuels the Public Interest Technology University Network’s challenge as well as career fair grants.
