New technologies can have immense ethical effects. I wondered — what is the ethical analog of a dependency? How can software developers and other technologists make sure their work is deployed in accordance with a certain set of values?
Wampum.codes is my way of exploring that idea. It’s a podcast named after wampum, the craft of weaving beads into patterns that represent contracts and other agreements, and was practiced by my tribe (Seneca-Cayuga Haudenosaunee) for many years. On the show, I interview Native people from my own tribe and many others, who are using technology to share their values with the world.

I have a workshop I can do to walk people though the process of articulating their values and inscribing it into code, I do these online through Miro, I have prototyped them with the MIT Co-Creation cohort and a few companies for their software design sprints. Would be happy to run one at Mozfest or after.
How will you deal with varying numbers of participants in your session?:This is a podcast and as many people who would like to listen are able to. I will be having transcriptions from Otter.ai available for all audio sessions features for those who are hard of hearing or a member of the deaf community
