Technology Serving Humanity
Since its launch in Fall 2021, the Technology Serving Humanity speaker series has
brought leading voices from around the world to the University of Memphis to explore
how technology shapes — and is shaped by — humanity.
In an age of rapid innovation and unprecedented disruption, this ongoing public lecture
series examines the social, political, philosophical, and humanistic dimensions of
technological change. Each conversation invites audiences to look beyond the technology
itself and consider its deeper implications for individuals, communities, and the
world we share.
