MIT Center for Civic Media – Creating Technology for Social Change
At the end of August 2020, the Center for Civic Media at MIT will close down.

Over the past thirteen years, hundreds of students, researchers, visiting scholars, faculty members and members of communities in the Boston area and worldwide have contributed to the work that's unfolded here.

He tries to diagnose the issue he felt in his classrooms this year and the role technology may play in it. For new listeners, Mack is a writer and researcher who studies sound, technology, and culture.
