Reading Response 01: Personal Reflection

Reflection

For this assignment, write a personal reflection that connects themes from our readings to a personal experience you have had with technology.

Assigned Readings:

• Costanza- Chock, Sasha. Design Values: Hard-Coding Liberation? Design justice : community- led practices to build the worlds we need. The MIT Press, 2020, pp. 31-68
• Winner, Langdon. Do Artifacts Have Politics? Daedalus, Vol. 109, No. 1, 1980, pp. 121-136

What to Do:

1. 1. Engage the readings: Identify at least one key concept from each author and briefly summarize each one.
   2. Make it personal: Connect those concepts to a personal life experience where you interact(ed) with technology. This could be an everyday moment or something more singular.
   3. Reflect critically: Reflect on questions such as:
      • How does Winners or Costanza-Chocks framework help you understand this moment differently?
      • Did the technology embody politics or values you hadnt noticed before?
      • Did it reproduce inequities, or did it open up new forms of access, expression, or justice?
      • How do your own position and identity shape how you experienced this technology?

Format & Requirements:

• • Length: 500 words
  • Format: Google Doc, Word Doc, or PDF
  • Reference both readings (at least one quotation or paraphrase from each)
  • Clear connection to your own lived experience
  • Focus on analysis and reflection, not just summary
  • Cite your sources

Guiding Questions (if youre stuck):

• • Have you ever used a technology that worked well for some people but not for others? How does this relate to Costanza- Chocks discussion of affordances or disaffordances?
  • Have you encountered a technology that seemed neutral at first, but later you realized it carried political or social consequences?
  • Can you think of a time when digital technology that you were using reflected assumptions about your gender, race, class, or ability?
