SUMMARY:Dr. Biella Coleman: From Busting Cults to Breeding Cults: Anonymous Hacktivism vs. QAnon\,
DESCRIPTION:(Virtual/ Online Event with Professional Live Captions in English)\nYou need to sign up on eventbrite to get the zoom link (we do this to prevent zoombombing): https://www.eventbrite.com/e/dr-biella-coleman-from-busting-cults-to-breeding-cults-full-title-below-tickets-161507548425?fbclid=IwAR1NKlYGhn7CaIZUEQTDC-UdY7xe6GGu42aZWMlwXMZFfa_1Jv_Q-MMQPf8\n\nFrom Busting Cults to Breeding Cults: Anonymous Hacktivism vs. QAnon\nFirst emerging from the anonymous imageboard 4chan\, Anonymous found its activist sea legs in 2008 during a worldwide protest campaign against the Church of Scientology. Not long after\, Anonymous surged in visibility and popularity as hackers used the name to lay claim to high-profile hacktivist actions. Other groups and individuals used it to coordinate dozens of political operations\, often supporting social justice movements. A decade later\, after Anonymous activity waned\, different movements and currents\, like the anonymous far-right and the conspiracy theorists QAnon had sprung forth from similar anonymous imageboards. Like Anonymous\, these movements and currents played integral\, even outsized roles in various political arenas.\nIn contrast to Anonymous\, they often worked against the cause of social justice and\, in its stead\, supported reactionary\, racist\, conspiratorial or fascist political planks. How are we to understand this radical metamorphosis and the relationships between these currents and movements? In this talk\, I will examine the role of critical events\, translators\, and larger political forces in accounting for their differences and address issues around anonymity\, the difficulties in researching anonymous quarters of the internet\, and popular journalistic accounts in meshing together aspects of these movements that should be pried apart. In so doing\, I will make a case for careful historical analysis in media studies work and to call for the end of a class of categories\, like Internet activism\, that fails to capture the dynamics and importance of online tools for political movements today.\nGabriella (Biella) Coleman holds the Wolfe Chair in Scientific and Technological Literacy at McGill University. Trained as a cultural anthropologist\, she researches\, writes\, and teaches on computer hackers and digital activism. Her first book on Free Software\, Coding Freedom: The Ethics and Aesthetics of Hacking has been published with Princeton University Press. Her book\, “Hacker\, Hoaxer\, Whistleblower\, Spy: The Many Faces of Anonymous\,” published by Verso\, was named to Kirkus Reviews’ Best Books of 2014.

SUMMARY:Dr. Jennifer Lundquist on Addressing the Digital Harassment and Trolling of Scholars\,
DESCRIPTION:Virtual/ Online Event with Professional Live Captions in English)\nYou need to sign up on eventbrite to get the zoom link (we do this to prevent zoombombing) : https://www.eventbrite.com/e/dr-jennifer-lundquist-on-addressing-the-digital-harassment-of-scholars-tickets-161531837073?fbclid=IwAR2YFDjxyK_r8oCB3VGaVGsSurtc5eFjcFhVKAb2gXce8BXNxdTlodtwFTA\nDr. Jennifer Lundquist will speak about her work on addressing the digital harassment and trolling of scholars. It will be followed by a question and answer session.\nIn May of 2021\, Dr. Lundquist co-organized an event to discuss the strategies that UMass faculty and administrators may use to prevent and respond to public harassment and to support faculty if and when it occurs (https://www.umass.edu/sbs/calendar/event/when-public-engagement-comes-public-harassment-how-prevent-respond-and-support?fbclid=IwAR0qS-eplMPBrZVErwaAko6Z4BjiRBKXjfNviR4shTfxmpuaFQZvpGGTHD4).\n\nShe has worked to develop protocols at UMass Amherst to support scholars who have been trolled and/or digitally harassed.\nDr. Jennifer Lundquist is a professor and Senior Associate Dean of Research and Faculty Development at UMass Amherst. She examines the pathways through which racial\, ethnic and gender inequalities are perpetuated and sometimes undone in various institutional settings\, such as the workplace\, the dating/marriage market and in families.\nThis event is co-hosted by Dr. Stefanie Duguay (Assistant Professor in the Department of Communication Studies at Concordia University and director of the DIGS Lab).\n“There is a cost to doing work in public spheres that disproportionately is paid by marginalized scholars. It is not rare for women academics\, Indigenous scholars\, and scholars of colour to face harassment online.” In July 2020\, Dr. Alex Ketchum and her lab released the “Report on the State of Resources Provided to Support Scholars Against Harassment\, Trolling\, and Doxxing While Doing Public Media Work” (https://medium.com/…/report-on-the-state-of-resources…). The report aims to encourage all Canadian (and other) universities’ Media Relations Offices to develop a best practices plan.\nThis event with Dr. Lunquist seeks to showcase strategies to support scholars engaged in public facing work and encourage other universities to develop a best practices plan.

SUMMARY:Dr. Moya Bailey on Misogynoir Transformed: Black Women's Digital Resistance
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Moya Bailey will be speaking about her new book\, Misogynoir Transformed: Black Women’s Digital Resistance (2021\, NYU Press: https://nyupress.org/9781479865109/misogynoir-transformed/).\n\nThis talk will be followed by a Q and A period.\nDr. Moya Bailey is Associate Professor of Communications at Northwestern University. She is the digital alchemist for the Octavia E. Butler Legacy Network and an MLK Visiting Scholar at MIT.\n“When Moya Bailey first coined the term misogynoir\, she defined it as the ways anti-Black and misogynistic representation shape broader ideas about Black women\, particularly in visual culture and digital spaces. She had no idea that the term would go viral\, touching a cultural nerve and quickly entering into the lexicon. Misogynoir now has its own Wikipedia page and hashtag\, and has been featured on Comedy Central’s The Daily Show and CNN’s Cuomo Prime Time. In Misogynoir Transformed\, Bailey delves into her groundbreaking concept\, highlighting Black women’s digital resistance to anti-Black misogyny on YouTube\, Facebook\, Tumblr\, and other platforms.\nAt a time when Black women are depicted as more ugly\, deficient\, hypersexual\, and unhealthy than their non-Black counterparts\, Bailey explores how Black women have bravely used social-media platforms to confront misogynoir in a number of courageous—and\, most importantly\, effective—ways. Focusing on queer and trans Black women\, she shows us the importance of carving out digital spaces\, where communities are built around queer Black webshows and hashtags like #GirlsLikeUs.\nBailey shows how Black women actively reimagine the world by engaging in powerful forms of digital resistance at a time when anti-Black misogyny is thriving on social media. A groundbreaking work\, Misogynoir Transformed highlights Black women’s remarkable efforts to disrupt mainstream narratives\, subvert negative stereotypes\, and reclaim their lives.” (from the publisher)\n\n\nYou need to sign up on eventbrite to get the zoom link (we do this to prevent zoombombing) :https://www.eventbrite.com/e/dr-moya-bailey-on-misogynoir-transformed-black-womens-digital-resistance-tickets-161503101123?fbclid=IwAR1ezUa1Di8Xhmo_jKwYtFHe0u28J4nJkECrXAuTkgdoxv95ClMKqDR47OI

SUMMARY:Rose Eveleth of Flash Forward Pod: Imagine Better Futures
DESCRIPTION:Imagine Better Futures: The future isn’t created exclusively by white guys in black t-shirts who give TED Talks. In fact\, thinking about the future (or “mental time travel” as psychologists call it) is not only the first step towards building the future we want\, it’s actually linked to happiness. With the right tools\, pulling from imagination\, foresight\, history\, and storytelling every person can start the process of imaging (and then building) better futures.\nRose Eveleth is a writer and producer who explores how humans tangle with science and technology.

SUMMARY:Stephanie Dinkins  on Art\, AI\, Data Sovereignty\, and Social Inequity
DESCRIPTION:Stephanie Dinkins will discuss how her art practice confronts questions of bias in AI\, data sovereignty\, and social equity. \nStephanie Dinkins is a transmedia artist and professor at Stony Brook University where she holds the Kusama Endowed Chair in Art. \nShe creates platforms for dialog about artificial intelligence (AI) as it intersects race\, gender\, aging\, and our future histories. She is particularly driven to work with communities of color to co-create more equitable\, values grounded artificial intelligent ecosystems. Dinkins’ art practice employs lens-based practices\, emerging technologies\, and community engagement to confront questions of bias in AI\, data sovereignty and social equity. Investigations into the contradictory histories\, traditions\, knowledge bases\, and philosophies that form/in-form society at large underpin her thought and art production.

SUMMARY:Morgan Klaus Scheuerman on How We Teach Computer Vision To See Race and Gender
DESCRIPTION:Race and gender have long sociopolitical histories of classification in technical infrastructures-from the passport to social media. Facial analysis technologies are particularly pertinent to understanding how identity is operationalized in new technical systems. This talk will cover two studies on gender and race representations in facial analysis technology. First\, I sought to understand how gender is concretely conceptualized and encoded into commercial facial analysis and image labeling technologies available today. Findings show how gender is codified as a binary into both classifiers and data standards. Second\, I examined how race and gender are defined and annotated in image databases used for training and evaluating models. Though race and gender decisions are rarely justified or defined\, they are discussed as apolitical\, obvious\, and neutral. These two studies show not only how race and gender are represented in facial analysis models\, but also the value-decisions made at the data level and how inclusion and exclusion of certain identities are propagated through the model pipeline.\n\nMorgan Klaus Scheuerman is a PhD Student of Information Science at University of Colorado Boulder. His research focuses on the intersection of technical infrastructure and marginalized identities. In particular\, he examines how gender and race characteristics are embedded into algorithmic infrastructures and how those permeations influence the entire system. His recent work explores how gender and race classification in computer vision technologies excludes and endangers at-risk individuals.\nThis event is part of the 2nd Season of the Feminist and Accessible Publishing and Communications Technologies Speaker and Workshop Series (https://www.feministandaccessiblepublishingandtechnology.com)\, organized by Dr. Alex Ketchum.\n\nRSVP: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/morgan-klaus-scheuerman-on-how-we-teach-computer-vision-to-see-race-and-gen-tickets-132121628347

SUMMARY:Funding AI: The role of public investments in Canada with Ana Brandusescu
DESCRIPTION:The opacity of artificial intelligence (AI) is not only found in the technology but also in its funding networks. Billions of taxpayers money goes into AI. The talk will examine how government funding is building the innovation economy under AI\, and its political and socio-economic implications.\nAna Brandusescu collaborates with McGill University’s Centre for Interdisciplinary Research on Montreal (CRIEM) as the resident Professor of Practice for 2019-2020\, and will be an OpenNorth Fellow. As a Professor of Practice and OpenNorth Fellow\, she will design and implement a research agenda on artificial intelligence (AI)\, its transformative effects on institutions\, and the engagement potentialities afforded\, and not afforded\, by its implementation. Taking a critical theory approach to technology and its implementation\, Ana will examine shifting power dynamics vis-à-vis technology\, to ask how people can better participate in digitally-informed decisions that are driven by opaque and potentially unaccountable technologies. Her research will build relationships across sectors amongst implementers of AI and researchers examining its socio-technical implications. Ana’s expertise lies in participation via civic tech\, open government data\, and digital rights. As an independent researcher\, advisor and facilitator\, she has worked on open contracting reform\, open access for UN agencies\, closing the gender gap\, and developing courses on AI for OpenNorth’s One-to-One Advisory Service. During her time at the World Wide Web Foundation she led research on the Open Data Barometer\, co-chaired the Measurement and Accountability Group of the Open Data Charter\, and led gender equality research advocacy with Women’s Rights Online. She is on the advisory board of Learning from Small Cities\, and is a member of @OpenHeroines.\nThis event is part of the 2nd Season of the Feminist and Accessible Publishing and Communications Technologies Speaker and Workshop Series (https://www.feministandaccessiblepublishingandtechnology.com)\, organized by Dr. Alex Ketchum.

SUMMARY:Chancey Fleet on Digital Frictions and Dark Patterns in Accessible Technology
DESCRIPTION:Digital Frictions and Dark Patterns in Accessible Technology\nThis lecture will trouble the idea that all accessible technology is inherently liberatory and good. We’ll explore how designers without disabilities create accessible technologies that constrain disabled people by failing to play to individual strengths; examine cases where accessibility tools with limited utility garner maximal public relations capital; and reflect on the new privacy exposures and dependencies created for everyone\, disabled and not\, by cloud-connected apps for independent living. Attendees will be invited to imagine a collective tech future where individual strengths\, privacy and choice are centered in the context of accessible technology.\nBio: Chancey Fleet is a 2018-19 Data & Society Fellow and current Affiliate-in-Residence whose writing\, organizing and advocacy aims to catalyze critical inquiry into how cloud-connected accessibility tools benefit and harm\, empower and expose communities of disability. Chancey is the Assistive Technology Coordinator at the New York Public Library where she founded and maintains the Dimensions Project\, a free open lab for the exploration and creation of accessible images\, models and data representations through tactile graphics\, 3d models and nonvisual approaches to coding\, CAD and “visual” arts. Chancey was recognized as a 2017 Library Journal Mover and Shaker.\nThis event is part of the 2nd Season of the Feminist and Accessible Publishing and Communications Technologies Speaker and Workshop Series (https://www.feministandaccessiblepublishingandtechnology.com)\, organized by Dr. Alex Ketchum.\n\nRSVP: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/chancey-fleet-on-digital-frictions-and-dark-patterns-in-accessible-technolo-tickets-134432107051?fbclid=IwAR2We5AYhV2gTBUF6IvvWvn5oRchzdPorrFl0VZjDMqTESkeJj1zmfuHgHo

SUMMARY:Feminist Data Set and CAre B0t with Caroline Sinders
DESCRIPTION:This is a free\, virtual event with professional live captions\, open to the public.\nThis talk explores how usefulness is a necessary metaphor for design and art to critique technology\, create spaces of provocation and activism. Within this talk\, I will be expanding up usefulness\, critical design and art\, and focusing on two projects that embody this\, Feminist Data Set and CAre B0t.\nThis talk will also dive into theories and inspiration behind rsearch drive art. Usefulness\, and interdisciplinary work are key and necessary parts of a research driven arts practice\, and it is directly\, extremely inspired by Tania Brugerua’s arte util methodology\, which means utilitarian art. Arte Útil draws on artistic thinking to imagine\, create and implement tactics that change how we act in society\, again heavily focused on usefulness\, on tool building\, and on communities. Critic and Curator Nora Khan highlights the strengths of work stretching across domains\, making art a necessary trojan horse to discuss useful change. Research driven art\, embodying activism and or utilitarianism are artists and practices such as American Artist\, Francis Tseng\, Joanna Moll\, Adam Harvey\, Mimi Onuoha\, Forensic Architecture and others. Artistic research practices don’t exist just to bear witness\, though that alone would be worthwhile; they question\, provocate and offer a solution to a problem. This should not be viewed as a form of techno-solutionism however; the ‘solutions’ the artists provide are not meant to create an end to all other potential solutions\, but serve to offer rather\, temporary or open-source fixes for gaps in equity and violence created by society and thus are poetic witnesses of those gaps.\n\nCaroline Sinders is a machine-learning-design researcher and artist. For the past few years\, she has been examining the intersections of technology’s impact in society\, interface design\, artificial intelligence\, abuse\, and politics in digital\, conversational spaces. Sinders is the founder of Convocation Design + Research\, an agency focusing on the intersections of machine learning\, user research\, designing for public good\, and solving difficult communication problems. As a designer and researcher\, she has worked with Amnesty International\, Intel\, IBM Watson\, the Wikimedia Foundation\, and others.\nSinders has held fellowships with the Harvard Kennedy School\, the Mozilla Foundation\, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts\, Eyebeam\, STUDIO for Creative Inquiry\, and the International Center of Photography. Her work has been supported by the Ford Foundation\, Omidyar Network\, the Open Technology Fund and the Knight Foundation. Her work has been featured in the Tate Exchange in Tate Modern\, Victoria and Albert Museum\, MoMA PS1\, LABoral\, Ars Electronica\, the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft\, Slate\, Quartz\, Wired\, as well as others. Sinders holds a Masters from New York University’s Interactive Telecommunications Program.\nThis event is part of the 2nd Season of the Feminist and Accessible Publishing and Communications Technologies Speaker and Workshop Series (https://www.feministandaccessiblepublishingandtechnology.com)\, organized by Dr. Alex Ketchum. This series was made possible thanks to our sponsors: SSHRC (and the Initiative for Digital Citizen Research)\, the Institute for Gender\, Sexuality\, and Feminist Studies (IGSF)\, Milieux\, Initiative for Indigenous Futures\, Algorithmic Media Observatory\, MILA\, Cinema Politics\, McGill’s Department of History and Classical Studies\, Black Feminist Futures Working Group\, the Sustainability Projects Fund\, Moving Image Research Laboratory\, The McGill Writing Centre\, MUTEK IMG\, the Intersectionality Research Hub\, and Machine Agencies.\n\nThere is no fee required to attend this event.
