The Language Project Podcast
Come and take a listen to all the ways that language impacts our society! In this podcast we'll explore various topics related to language - everything from how it defines us as humans, how it manifests itself in our technology and our media and arts and impacts the way we think, and how its automation makes our lives easier but also brings its own set of ethical challenges. I'll be joined by many special guests whose own lives have been notably impacted by language, as well as experts in the field of linguistics.

In Pt. 2 of my series on TikTok, I continue to delve deeper into TikTok's algorithms to explore the question of whether they introduce and propagate bias. I'll also share the results of a survey I conducted to assess whether people could detect bias in the news they consume on social media. Finally, I'll share my opinion on policy recommendations to reduce bias in social media platforms.
