Privacy Quest: Write Your Own Story

Short Session Description

Privacy is a vital civil right. Learn to protect your and your community's privacy via narrative-based exercises.

Privacy is personal. Group activities will be interspersed with stories of my own quest to become a professional technologist and privacy advocate.

The personal is political. Protecting privacy is a key element of the library's role in democracy. Empower your community to wrest its narrative back from the clutches of surveillance capitalism. Control your privacy; write your own story.
