<p>Join the UVA School of Data Science for a discussion with Virginia Eubanks, author of Automating Inequality, and associate professor in the Department of Political Science at University of Albany, SUNY.</p><p>"'Automating Inequality' is riveting (an accomplishment for a book on technology and policy). Its argument should be widely circulated, to poor people, social service workers and policymakers, but also throughout the professional classes. Everyone needs to understand that technology is no substitute for justice." — Liza Featherstone, The New York Times Book Review </p>
