An Overview of the Digital Rights Landscape for Career Seekers
The digital rights field is an emerging field, which looks at challenges arising at the intersection of social justice, human rights, and technology. While exciting and at the cusp of issues facing societies throughout the world, its expansiveness can also be overwhelming to people trying to break into the field. Join us to gain an overview of the digital rights field, as well as different career paths available to you. You can also ask questions about the future sessions of the Village!
