Friends, A new article, "Technology and (dis)empowerment: A call to technologists" has been uploaded on the Radical Ecological Democracy website. https://radicalecologicaldemocracy.org/technology-and-disempowerment-a-call-... Could technology become an unambiguous force of social good, and help usher in a more equitable and fairer ecosystem capable of handling challenges of inequality, exploitation, poverty and climate change? Aaditeshwar Seth answers this important question in his recently published book, "Technology and (Dis)empowerment: A Call to Technologists". In this article, Seth discusses the many ways in which technology could aim to overturn hegemonic and unjust social and economic structures to create an equal and just society, a strikingly bold thread running through his book. Please take a look and join the discussion on REDlistserv or the website discussion forum. The author is copied on this email in case you would like to contact him directly. Also, this coming winter Aaditeshwar and I will be joined by a group of alternative technology thinkers and practitioners in a series of web-discussions to probe the emerging rift between technology and society, and how to imagine and craft an alternative paradigm for integrating appropriate technology into the world's socio-economic structures. We would love to hear your ideas about what this series should explore and what topics would be of your immediate concern. We look forward to hearing from you. Best wishes, Pallav
