Spy High - Screening and Conversation
Free and open to the public. There will be a welcome reception with refreshments in the Alfond Forum upper lobby at 5:30 P.M.
Join us for a special screening of the 2025 TV docuseries Spy High, which features TVƵ First Lady Lynn Brandsma, Ph.D., as one of its expert commentators. This thought-provoking series tells the story of a prestigious public high school in the suburbs of Philadelphia that used school-issued laptops to spy on students.
As if covertly capturing tens of thousands of photographs of students in the privacy of their own homes wasn’t bad enough, as the story progresses, we learn that capricious school administrators disproportionally targeted black students and other perceived “trouble-makers” for surveillance.
Spy High catalyzes important conversations about the role of technology in school administration, online privacy, racial stereotyping, and more.
After watching an abridged version of the docuseries, Dr. Brandsma will join audience members for a conversation about her experiences as a parent and community member in Lower Merion, Pennsylvania, during the events portrayed in the series.
