Part of our 'Five Questions' series, this video asks five questions of a Tufts Computer Science Major.

Digital Planet Chair Bhaskar Chakravorti and scholar-entrepreneur-Fletcher alum Olaf Groth discuss Groth's latest book "The Great Remobilization: Strategies and Designs for a Smarter Global Future."How the turmoil of recent years gives leaders an unprecedented opportunity to redesign global strategies and systems and to remobilize toward a smarter, more resilient, and equitable future.How can leaders faced with tremendous global upheaval create more resilient and trustworthy systems? In The Great Remobilization, Olaf Groth, Mark Esposito, and Terence Tse (along with research partner Dan Zehr) diagnose tectonic shifts in the global economy with an eye toward designing a smarter “operating system” for the world. Through their FLP-IT (forces, logic, phenomena, impact, and triage) framework for strategic leadership, the authors chart a path forward, providing guidance for a new breed of “design activist leader.” Focusing on key tectonic shifts they call the Five Cs—COVID and pandemic management, the cognitive economy and crypto, cybersecurity, climate change and carbon management, and China—they examine the implications that new forces and logics will have on countries, organizations, and individuals.Drawing from one hundred interviews and conversations with top-level executives, entrepreneurs, policymakers, diplomats, generals, scholars, and other leading experts from around the world, the authors show how to create new inclusive visions with the aim of rebuilding the trust that will allow for both human and economic growth. Insightful and forward-thinking, The Great Remobilization powerfully illustrates the rare opportunity that we have in this historic moment to actively redesign our fragile, overpressurized global systems and develop new strategies and leadership approaches for the future. Authored by three scholar-practitioners, their synthetic perspectives and insights are at once rooted in deep research and focused on relevance for leaders and their organizations.

Social media platforms have become the number one means of communication. Whether it's staying in touch with family members, networking with colleagues, following your favorite celebrities, or tracking breaking news, chances are you are doing it on Facebook, X (Twitter), LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest, and other emerging platforms. In this session we will take a look at best practices for ensuring that our social media communications are as accessible as possible to people with disabilities.

This session explores the relationship between neurodiversity and digital content. Specifically, what should we be mindful of when creating websites, documents, presentations, emails and other forms of communication? We will talk about what we mean by neurodiversity and how we can apply basic universal design principles to ensure that our digital content is inclusive for all.Resources: Web Content Accessibility Guidelines https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG22/Cognitive & Learning Disabilities Task Force (COGA) https://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/task-forces/coga/Making Content Usable for People with Cognitive and Learning Disabilities https://www.w3.org/TR/coga-usable/Clear Language Subgroup https://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/task-forces/silver/wiki/Clear_Language_SubgroupWiki: Ten Tips https://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/task-forces/coga/wiki/%E2%80%9Cten_tips%E2%80%9D
