Using Space Technology to Advance Justice on Earth with Danielle Wood, Director of the Space Enabled Research Group at MIT

Stories of Transformation

While many civic leaders are working towards detangling the complex systems that have sustained injustice from here on Earth, Dr. Danielle Wood is coming at it from a very different angle.

Who would have thought the advancement of justice and sustainable development on Earth could be informed by space technology? This is the mission our next guest is working towards as the Director of the Space Enabled Research Group at MIT.

Prof. Wood is a scholar of societal development with a background that includes satellite design, earth science applications, systems engineering, and technology policy. In her research, Prof. Wood applies these skills to design innovative systems that harness space technology to address development challenges around the world.

Join us in this fascinating Stories of Transformation conversation where we meet at the intersection of racial equality and space technology.
