Please join us for the Change Seminar this week on *Tuesday 12/5/2017* in *HUB > 214*. > > *Who: *Carmen Gonzalez (UW Dept of Communications) > *What:* *Digital Equity & Meaningful Connectivity* > *When:* Tuesday Dec 5th at 12pm > *Where: *HUB 214 > > *Abstract:* Close to 8 million U.S. children live with at least one > English-language learner parent. This means that many children are growing > up in bilingual families and likely perform the role of a child broker by > bridging their family’s access to information and resources. Expanding the > rich body of work on second-level effects of the digital divide, this > research presentation posits that digital inclusion is actually a spectrum > that can look different depending on family dynamics, self-efficacy, and > local environments. As more resources and services migrate online, > information-seeking and decision-making processes will likely become more > collaborative within families with varying language and technical > proficiencies—such a shift toward collective problem solving requires a > re-conceptualization of connectivity in the digital age. > > *Bio:* > Dr. Carmen Gonzalez is an assistant professor in the Department of > Communication at the University of Washington. Through community-based > research, she studies how families gain access to information and resources > that promote health, wellbeing, and resiliency. Her current work examines > the implications of digital equity for health and financial literacy. With > a focus on collaborative research and engaged scholarship, she works to > bridge university and community efforts that address various forms of > inequality. Gonzalez received her Ph.D. and M.A. in Communication, and B.A. > in Print Journalism and Chicano Studies from the University of Southern > California. >
