This lecture by Paz Peña explores the concept of Slow Tech – a political and ethical practice that challenges technological development driven by acceleration, growth imperatives, and extractivism. The focus lies on how digital technologies can be designed in ways that are ecologically sustainable, socially just, and rooted in feminist principles.
Key topics include the entanglement of digitalization and environmental degradation, alternatives to data-driven infrastructures, and the potential of slowness as a political-technical strategy.
Paz Peña is a technology policy expert and consultant based in Chile. Her work spans across technology, environmental justice, feminism, and human rights. She previously served as Policy Director at the NGO Derechos Digitales and is currently active in international networks advocating for just and feminist technologies.
The lecture will be held in English, with a German Translation.
The lecture series “Digitalization: Feminist and Decolonial” explores the global power structures embedded in digital technologies. It centers perspectives that critically examine digitalization through an intersectional lens.
