For us, by us: Free technology, community science, and the pursuit of environmental problem solving
Shannon Dosemagen
In a world increasingly defined by environmental deregulation, how can free tools and technology alter the ability for communities to be part of the solution? This talk will explore a decade of work where community science and free technology have been used to support people in addressing environmental concerns. Focusing on the work of Public Lab, the talk will take us from the 2010 BP oil disaster through the rapid growth of free technology for environmental monitoring, and take a closer look at the challenges we face going forward with data, hardware, and governance.
