Your Laws, Your Data: Making Government More Open Molly Schwartz Friday March 13 // 12:30pm // Room 10AB Technology has changed since the mid 1990s, but the quality of data coming from the government has not kept up. Join us for a discussion of how better data can empower citizen activists and public interest groups to make government more accountable, and more responsive. Real Talk About Civic Tech Catherine Bracy Saturday March 14 // 5:00pm // Room 10AB "Civic tech" attempts to apply the benefits of the Internet to govern- ment. It has begun to grow into being a force impacting national and local policy. As it becomes more mainstream, critics question how impactful these tools and approaches are for citizens. Does civic tech produce more responsive governments and stronger communities? Or does it widen the gap between the digital haves and have-nots? This panel will discuss tools and approaches that have and have not worked and what needs to happen next. America Meet World: How Global Satirists See Us Trina DasGupta Saturday March 14 // 5:00pm // Room 9ABC As the US presidential elections approach, three global satirists reflect on American politics and its international impact.
