Understand digital technologies in order to criticize and transform them
Hello, my name is Louis Derrac. I am a (french) actor working in the field of digital literacy. I advocate for a certain idea of digital literacy, and for alternative digital technologies. I work at Latitudes, as director of the Future of Tech program.

About
For over 10 years, I've been interested in the issues raised by digital technologies in our societies in general, and in the field of education in particular.
Today, I'm convinced that to understand the world around us, we need to understand digital technology as a total social fact. Even more vital, we need to understand digital technology in order to criticize and transform it.
I'm exploring the contours of a political, popular, technocritical and emancipatory digital litteracy. But also those of a radical alter-digitalism, aiming for a more « acceptable » digital technology.
Work with me
I present myself as a craftsman of acceptable digital technology. While being an eternal generalist curious about everything, I specialize in the challenges of digital litteracy, digital education and the alter-digital transformation of organizations.
I work as a program director, consultant, service provider, designer, project manager, lecturer, trainer, facilitator, futurist, and in many other forms, because I'm a craftsman, and my work is custom-made.
