Homelessness and digital inclusion: The connecting Skid Row project

Monday, April 22, 2019

Noon 1 p.m.

USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism (ASC), 207


Many people experiencing homelessness have been socially marginalized and denied access to technology resources — yet they often find creative ways to use the internet throughout their life. How do these practices help them acquire resources, access services, and activate social support systems? 

The Connecting Skid Row project explores these questions through community-engaged research with surveys, in-depth interviews, and co-design with local community partners.

USC Annenberg Professor François Bar and Associate Professor Hernan Galperin will be joined by members of LA Community Action Network (LACAN) to discuss their work.

Lunch will be served. No RSVP needed.
