CARLI Annual Meeting

Technology is both. It's helpful and harmful. Exhausting and energizing. Connecting and dividing. Through a mix of interactive activities and short lectures, we'll explore our personal values and digital habits, learn about the design tricks and thinking traps of the attention economy, and apply evidence-based strategies from Attention Restoration Theory, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to support digital agency as individuals, in our communities, and through our institutions.
 
Beck Tench has deep and abiding curiosities about how to live well in a radically connected world. She is a designer and researcher at The Center for Digital Thriving at Harvard Graduate School of Education. Her research focuses on developing skills and a greater capacity for accessing personal wisdom, connecting with others through compassion and friendship, improving the quality of our lives through awareness of life as we’re living it, and mitigating or minimizing the harms of attention-driven digital culture. Beck graduated with her Ph.D. in Information Science at the University of Washington. Before returning to school, she was an exhibit designer in science museums.
 
She was formally trained as a designer at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She spent her career before returning to academia helping museums, libraries, and non-profits embrace risk-taking, creativity, and change through technology and personal space-making. Her work from that time was mentioned in the New York Times, National Public Radio, Scientific American, and several books and blogs
