CS & Society Lecture

The CS & Society Lecture is an annual event hosted by the Carleton Computer Science Society (CCSS) in collaboration with the School of Computer Science (SCS). The goal of this lecture is to explore the broader impact of computing on society.

🧩 Finding Speakers

This event is made possible through ongoing support from the School of Computer Science. In particular, Michel Barbeau, Director of SCS, has regularly helped identify and recommend potential guest speakers for the lecture.

🕛 Scheduling

It has typically taken place during the winter term, though there’s no strict requirement for when it needs to happen — the timing is flexible based on availability and planning. We’ve been running this event annually since the 2020–2021 academic year.
