Grant funds technology discussion
by philosophy professor from PSU
■ LECTURE: Talks center on
technology’s effects on values
in the workplace
By Ben Kwasney
Higher Education Reporter
Robert Gould wants people to
think critically about technology
in the workplace and how it’s
changed their lives.
Gould, a visiting philosophy
professor at the University and
philosophy professor at Portland
State University, led a public dis
cussion Saturday at the 4J Educa
tion Center on changes in the
workplace due to technology. The
discussion also focused on tech
nology’s advantages and disad
vantages.
“We don’t want to lose sight of
the upside of all this [technology],
but I think we’re concerned about
the downside,” said Gould.
“We’re concerned about what that
means for Americans and our
identity and our values as Ameri
cans.”
Saturday’s discussion was part
of the ‘Nation That Works’ series.
The series is funded by a grant that
the National Endowment for the
Humanities gave to the University
library system.
Jon Cawthorne, University ref
erence librarian and coordinator
of outreach services, said the
University’s is the only academic
library that was selected. Twenty
libraries were selected nationwide
to receive the grant.
“The goal of the grant is to get
everyone involved sharing their
experiences,” Cawthorne said.
“We want people to know it’s a
conversation.”
He said the discussions for each
session are different because of the
diversity of experiences partici
pants share.
The series of free public discus
sions will be led by humanities
scholars who will focus on the
participant’s values, beliefs and at
titudes about work.
Saturday’s participants dis-'
cussed stress in the workplace, the
World Wide Web and computers,
child care, capitalism and multi
national corporations.
Gould said 75 percent of work
ers in America say their jobs are
highly stressful, and they expect
stress levels to increase. He said
the number of stress-related and
repetitive motion disorders are
higher now than in the past.
He said 30 percent of workers
who use computers are monitored
for their speed and productivity.
Gould is trying to start a peace
studies program at the University
and said he sees the WWW as an
opportunity for peace in the global
community.
Garald Derby, a retired life in
surance salesman, said technolo
gy has taken away personal rela
tions with people. He said he
welcomed computers because
they made work easier, but the
days of taking the time to talk with
a customer are gone.
“I saw all of it disappear, all of
it,” he said.
The grant and the lecture series
allow people to share their views.
“It’s important for a grant such
as this to look at everyone’s expe
rience and reflections,” Gould
said. “People young and people
older have different areas to reflect
on.”
Gould will lead another discus
sion on technology in the work
place on Jan. 12. Future topics for
the ‘Nation That Works Series’ in
clude race, ethnicity and the
workplace; gender, work and
American values; and immigra
tion, migration and the workplace.
As Americans face scarce re
sources, overpopulation, pollu
tion and toxic waste, we also need
to turn to the immaterial resources
we have, Gould said.
“I always have a great faith in
the abundance of the human spir
it,” Gould said.
