Great job everyone! Love that @caasipitt's very own #ACPP pm Emmaline Rial, MPA '24, contributed to the #hatespeech meta analysis. This very same team also works on #legal #analytics of #police contracts for #ACPP

So great seeing students present their work! Dan Rudy, MPA '24, & Myles Cramer, MPA '24, attended the 2023 Tech Ethics Symposium hosted by @duqedu. They presented, Meta-Analysis of Hate Speech Dataset Annotators, which was 1 of only 7 graduate student posters accepted.

What is a #smartcity? @khlightman of @HeinzCollege @Metro21CMU challenges @caasi students understanding of smart cities beyond the narrative created in the 2000s. How can this #smart #infrastructure make #governments more effective and help citizens maintain the #commons #pit

[CAASI @GSPIA @CaasiPitt]

Mike Madison speaks on the knowledge commons framework: how self governing communities could sustain resources in the #commons over time and how data from #smartcity #technology can inform the development of #selfgovernance #PIT #pitun
