Behind Their Screens: What Teens Are Facing (And Adults Are Missing)

TUESDAY, MARCH 25
6:30—7:30 PM
Zoom

Join us for an online event with Dr. Emily Weinstein and Dr. Carrie James, co-founders of the Center for Digital Thriving at Harvard Graduate School of Education and authors of the impactful book Behind Their Screens: What Teens Are Facing (And Adults Are Missing). Emily and Carrie will join us to share surprising insights from their latest research about teens and technology (particularly social media and GenAI), as well as practical strategies for parents, educators, and other caring adults. Their research has long emphasized young people's voices and diverse experiences, and they consider themselves critical optimists who are actively working toward a future where young people can thrive as they live with ever-changing technologies. This talk is perfect for parents and families of tweens and teens, other caregivers, educators, and anyone else working with youth from 12-18.

This program sponsored by the Morrill Memorial Library and is in collaboration with a multitude of MA libraries.

Registration is required in order to receive the Zoom log in information.
