President's Lecture Series: Christien Levien

How can technological innovation be used as a tool for marginalized communities to achieve greater social justice? Drawing upon his personal experience and his professional practice as a criminal defence lawyer, Mr. Levien will identify issues inherent in the criminal justice system and explore methods to improve the relationship between police and communities of colour. He will recount how he used a validated learning approach to develop a mobile application to educate and empower the Canadian public. Finally, he will discuss how a similar approach might be used by others to address complex problems of social justice.
