Assignment

• REQUIRED Phase 2, Blog Post #8: Please discuss today’s guest lectures. Where do you think their work overlaps? Additional questions to consider:
  • Dr. Michael Lindsey (McSilver Institute): How would you characterize McSilver’s approach to poverty? Where might technology come into play?
  • Uzoma Orchingwa (Ameelio): How does Ameelio use a mix of high tech and low tech to serve vulnerable populations? Considering that incarcerated female and male populations are kept separate, how might they be served differently by Ameelio?
• Reading/Viewing:
  • Please watch After Now (26 minutes), a 2017 documentary about alumni of the NYU Prison Education Program.
  • Watch (start at 37:00) or listen or read this recent interview on Democracy Now featuring PEP alum Jose Diaz (about .15 min).
