New Technology Doesn't Preserve Knowledge — Here's What Does | Dr. Margarita Lila Rosa

History is our blueprint to the future. Dr. Margarita Lila Rosa joins The Sustainable Artist to make the case that knowing our past is the only real way to build forward. Dr. Rosa is a Historian and Visiting Assistant Professor of Latin American and Caribbean Studies at Brown University, specializing in Afro-Latin American and Black Atlantic history. Her scholarship has appeared in Caribbean Quarterly, The Journal of African American History, Slavery & Abolition, and The Black Scholar, and her JAAH article won the 2024 Letitia Woods Article of the Year Award from the Association of Black Women Historians. In this first episode if TSA's Season 2, she talks about being an unconventional figure in her space, why new technology (ahem, AI) doesn't actually preserve knowledge the way we assume it does, how she almost didn't make it into college — and what all of it taught her about who gets to write the record. Oh and we're outside! In the second half you'll learn all about vertical farming from Director Dan Hubel of Farm.One -- an amazing indoor farm, brewery, cocktail bar and event space in Brooklyn, New York.
