I'm currently reading Algorithms of Oppression, a book that explores how technology, specifically Google's search algorithm, is not neutral. It is created by people who are biased, or sometimes even racist, and its results reflect that.
I'm also reading Culturally Sustaining Pedagogies: Teaching and Learning for Justice in a Changing World - This is a collection of academic papers that explore and expound on how culturally sustaining pedagogies (CSP) can better educate and engage students today. It also explores how teaching from just the dominant culture does a disservice not only to minority students but those in the majority as well. Reading this book I find my assumptions constantly being challenged. It's very good. Though it does suffer from the stilted writing that most academic writing seems to.
