In this episode, we have a conversation with Mallory Knodel, the CTO of the Center for Democracy and Technology, a nonprofit organization that advocates for human rights and social justice in the digital age. 

Mallory shares her fascinating journey from working in homeless shelters and teaching physics in New York to becoming a public interest technologist who engages in global internet governance and policy.

She explains what “multi-stakeholderism” means and why it is important for the future of the internet, as well as how she balances her technical expertise with her passion for social issues. 

Mallory is a hacker and a warrior who uses technology as a tool for transformative change. Tune in to hear her inspiring story and insights.
