The discussion will feature Dr. James Coupe, an artist and Assistant Professor at the UW Department of Digital Art and Experimental Media.

The topics covered under technology are broad, including biotechnology, privacy, public interest, e-commerce and intellectual property. Sponsored events have included how to choose technology related classes, technology law reading groups and finding a job in the technology field.
