SUMMARY:Creating Inclusive Sociotechnical Systems: Classification\, Inequality\, and Expertise in Epilepsy Care
DESCRIPTION:Come join us for an enlightening talk by Dr. Megh Marathe on Inclusive Sociotechnical Systems: Classification\, Inequality\, and Expertise in Epilepsy Care event. \nRegister Here.\nDESCRIPTION \nThis talk examines how classification amplifies or alleviates the exclusion of marginalized people in healthcare. Through the case of epilepsy\, the talk shows how reductionist classifications lead to narrow definitions of wellbeing and reinstate gendered\, racist\, classist\, and ableist hierarchies. These findings advance our understanding of how experts navigate classificatory decisions and of technology’s role in amplifying inequality and how to work towards a more just society. \nABOUT THE AUTHOR \nMegh Marathe is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Media & Information (ComArtSci) and the Center for Bioethics & Social Justice (College of Human Medicine). Their research seeks to foster inclusion in expert practices and technologies by centering the perspectives of marginalized people. They do this by studying the experiences and practices of multiple stakeholders — doctors and patients\, citizens and civic officials — that is\, laypeople and professionals\, people who are marginalized as well as those in powerful positions\, to generate critical theory and practical interventions for inclusive practice and technology design. Marathe adopts an ethnographic approach that is inflected by their computer science training and software industry experience. \nMarathe’s interests are in science and technology studies\, information studies\, and medical anthropology. They are currently examining the social implications of therapeutic brain implants and the inclusion of gender-diverse people in data systems (and the lack thereof)\, in addition to developing their research on epilepsy diagnosis and treatment. \nMarathe’s work has been published in prestigious information and social science venues including Transactions of the ACM in Human-Computer Interaction (TOCHI)\, Medical Anthropology Quarterly\, PACM-HCI (CSCW)\, CHI\, Time & Society\, and ICTD\, winning a CHI Best Paper Award. They received a PhD in information from the University of Michigan\, a master’s degree in computer science from the University of Toronto\, and a bachelor’s degree in computer engineering from the University of Mumbai. Prior to MSU\, Marathe was President’s Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Informatics at the University of California\, Irvine. \nDATE & TIME \nTuesday\, Nov. 4th \n2:00 PM – 3:00 PM \nLOCATION \nCSW | Streisand Center \n1500 Public Affairs Building\, \nUCLA Campus \n  \nReception to follow with light refreshments. \nRelated document: DR_MEGH_MARATHE_Flyer \nSponsor(s): UCLA Department of Information Studies\, UCLA Center for Critical Internet Inquiry\, UCLA Center for the Study of Women | Barbara Streisand Center
