This week, you will conduct an equity impact assessment of the technology you have
selected for your Course Project. The goal of this assignment is to provide a framework
for removing barriers that disadvantaged people may experience in accessing and
utilizing new technologies, as well as analyzing technologies through the lens of social
justice and equity.
Equity is defined as the belief that all humans are created equal (Martin & Nakayama,
2020). Determinants of equity include the social, economic, geographic, political, and
physical environmental conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work, and age,
and that is necessary for all people to thrive regardless of race, class, gender, language
is spoken, or sexual orientation. Inequities are created when barriers exist that prevent
individuals and communities from accessing these conditions.
Your equity assessment must address the following.
1. Provide a two- to three-sentence goal statement for your technology. What is
the intended impact?
2. Identify and explain groups that may be impacted by the technology. This can
include, but is not limited to, low-income populations, communities of color,
linguistic minorities, LGBTQA+ communities, and immigrant or refugee
populations.
3. Identify and explain regions that may be impacted by the technology. This
can include but is not limited to, urban communities, rural communities,
coastal communities, industrial communities, and ethnic enclaves.
4. Analyze potential positive and negative impact(s) or unintended
consequences for three identified populations. As part of your analysis,
