Welcome! Tech & Society Discussion Group is a fortnightly meetup for students and graduates at the University of Bristol where we talk about how technology and society are intertwined. We’re very interdisciplinary and welcome everyone - whether you’re a computer scientist, sociologist, engineer, artist, biologist, or philosopher.
Our next meet-up is on Tuesday 15th March 6-7pm at The White Bear. The topic is dating apps, and the reading is “Don’t Fall in Love on OkCupid”. For more info, including full event description, click here.
