What would it look like if online platforms were designed with democracy in mind? This event presents projects that are doing just that—building values like transparency, collective decision-making, and accessibility for all into their designs. Learn about ambitious, NYC-based projects that enable ordinary users to co-govern their online lives.

Hosted by Nathan Schneider, a professor of media studies at the University of Colorado Boulder. The event celebrates the publication of his new book, Governable Spaces: Democratic Design for Online Life. Featured projects include:
