“I engage in racial equity and social justice work because as a design leader, I want my processes and solutions to promote equal opportunity and not uphold the status quo. Technology can establish or reinforce cultural and societal biases. Because of the speed in which technology can be both created and iterated upon, the effective ethical analysis of its impacts are often overlooked. As technology plays an ever-increasing role in education, the frameworks and skills leveraged by educators to ensure equitable opportunity for all students must also be adopted by those developing technology.”

Catherine Winfield is the Design Director at the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative.
