Dr. Noble will discuss data discrimination and show how search engines like Google use a biased set of search algorithms that privilege whiteness and discriminate against people of color, specifically women of color. Event is free and open to the public. </span></div><div style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><br></div><div style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Verdana;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">In Algorithms of Oppression, Safiya Umoja Noble challenges the idea that search engines like Google offer an equal playing field for all forms of ideas, identities, and activities. Data discrimination is a real social problem; Noble argues that the combination of private interests in promoting certain sites, along with the monopoly status of a relatively small number of Internet search engines, leads to a biased set of search algorithms that privilege whiteness and discriminate against people of color, specifically women of color.</span></div></span></div><div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://events.reed.edu/event/black_celebration_month_algorithms_of_oppression#.XjIL7RNKhQI" target="_blank">https://events.reed.edu/event/black_celebration_month_algorithms_of_oppression#.XjIL7RNKhQI</a></div></div><div><br></div>-- <br><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">Dena Hutto<div>Norman F.
