This year, Eutenika in collaboration with AIFIS will organize a book talk series inviting participants from academia and the general public focusing on the relation between human and technology. In this series we will discuss how technologies are developed, deployed, and applied in different societies, especially in Indonesian societies. In each event, we will invite discussants from various backgrounds. To reach a wider audience, the event will be organized virtually via Zoom and broadcasted live on our Youtube Page. It will begin with a 45-minutes conversation with panel discussants and followed by open discussions with the rest of participants. All recordings from the Youtube Page will be useful for teaching materials for courses related to the topic of technology and society as well as introducing and popularizing science and technology studies (STS) to Indonesian academics and the general public.
