On the TechSoup forum, there is a branch called Public Computing, ICT4D, and Tech4Good [1].

Re: [liberationtech] Could you help me build a Tech for Social Good course syllabus?
Hi Louis (and everyone else), Let's change the question to say that I'm interested in resources pertaining to everything you state below. I've decided that the best thing would be to collect all of the resources and put them online somewhere, probably on our new website. Speaking of which, the status of the new website is that I'm waiting to hear from Greenhost whether they'd be interested in hosting and helping us develop it. If I don't hear back by the end of the week, I'll explore other options. If you have any suggestions, please let me know.

Re: [liberationtech] Could you help me build a Tech for Social Good course syllabus?
>>planning and building villages Yes! Le Corbusier comes to mind: Chandigarh, capital city of 2 Indian states!😎 “Chandigarh, the capital of the northern Indian states of Punjab and Haryana, was designed by the Swiss-French modernist architect, Le Corbusier. His buildings include the Capitol Complex with its High Court, Secretariat and Legislative Assembly, as well as the giant Open Hand Monument. The nearby Rock Garden is a park featuring sculptures made of stones, recycled ceramics and industrial relics.” - it doesn’t mention the pedestrian-only central core of the city.. Something about Village Telco should be appropriate, especially those projects where the village was the protagonist and techies just “helpers,” as mr. Rogers, hardly a techie, would say. stephen.s...@gmail.com should have reading material, and Regards / Saludos / Grato Andrés Leopoldo Pacheco Sanfuentes > On Nov 1, 2018, at 4:57 AM, Louis Suárez-Potts wrote: > > Hi— > Yosem, are you interested in focusing on praxis or theory or history? > Acknowledging here that one cannot rigorously separate the three, > still—obviously--a course that looks at what has been done in the name of > social good (by any party) and also what has actually worked (as evaluated > by… ) would differ from a course that downplays the fraught nature of any > well-intentioned intervention, technological or not—and that's not even > taking into consideration national operations and interests. > > And, I am guessing you are not only interested in tech for social good far > away (i.e., outside the US) but nearby?

Re: [liberationtech] Could you help me build a Tech for Social Good course syllabus?
Hi— Yosem, are you interested in focusing on praxis or theory or history? Acknowledging here that one cannot rigorously separate the three, still—obviously--a course that looks at what has been done in the name of social good (by any party) and also what has actually worked (as evaluated by… ) would differ from a course that downplays the fraught nature of any well-intentioned intervention, technological or not—and that's not even taking into consideration national operations and interests. And, I am guessing you are not only interested in tech for social good far away (i.e., outside the US) but nearby? And, also, material that would include village planning, architecture, etc.? I refer to the latter—planning and building villages-- b/c it's relatively unglamorous among tech circles but as a field it's exciting; and it also has a history. (I distrust things that hide their history.) I'll ask some friends not subscribed to this list who have relevant experience. And—what level? Undergrad? Grad? Research seminar?
