elcome.  A great debate is unfolding between those who see new informational technology as the key to solving the problems of education, employment, and social inequality, opposed to those who see this as a siren song, detracting from the real problems of social and human life.

To investigate these issues requires theorizing technology and discussing the ramifications of new information and communication technologies in the economy, politics, education, culture, and everyday life.

We invite you to participate in this debate and we offer this interactive virtual seminar with the hope that it will serve as a valuable reference tool, even as it presents itself as a progressive pedagogical model of how one might dialectically overcome technophilic / technophobic oppositions.
