Technology is vulnerable to bias. Recognizing the need for anti-racist technology that takes into consideration the perceptions and experiences of underrepresented populations, the UC Santa Cruz Baskin School of Engineering established the Fellowship for Anti-Racism Research (FARR) in 2021.
Graduate students Roman Reggiardo and Milad Hakimshafaei are the latest fellows carrying out individual projects to research tools and techniques that will combat discrimination and racism in technology and engineering.
