DESCRIPTION:Rethinking Digital Innovation in Crisis\n\nPresented by Michael
  Barrett\n\nUniversity of Cambridge\n	Professor of Information Systems & In
 novation Studies\n\nDate: Friday\, December 16\, 2022\, 10:30 am - 12:00 p
 m\n	Location: Armstrong 260\n\nRegister\n\n\nAbout the Topic:\n\nDigital te
 chnologies are increasingly being recognized as providing hope for large-s
 cale societal change in making the world a better place. This utopian view
  has been magnified in the recent crisis with the widespread acceleration 
 of digital innovation across many sectors and geographies. At the same tim
 e\, during the crisis digital technologies have been shown to be disruptiv
 e and have exposed increasing systemic challenges and inequalities across 
 the globe. In this talk\, I propose a relational perspective on risk to ex
 amine the possibilities and limits of digital innovation. I draw on empiri
 cal research to explore the utopian visions related to the acceleration of
  telemedicine in a UK eye hospital during the COVID crisis. This is comple
 mented with research work in Kenya which reveals the hopes and fears of th
 e marginalized in Kenya concerning the use of mobile payment services to a
 lleviate poverty and mitigate a crisis of financial exclusion.\n\nBio:\n\n
