Algorithms of Oppression - a podcast by LDF-Thurgood Marshall Institute

This episode features a conversation between Dr. Safiya Noble, New York Times Best-Selling Author of Algorithms of Oppression and Associate Professor at UCLA, and Will Searcy, Research and Operations Associate at the Thurgood Marshall Institute.

Working from this framework, Dr. Safiya Noble joins the pod to break down how bias becomes intertwined in algorithms and perpetuates discrimination.
