Artificial Intelligence and You: The Social and Human Dimensions of AI

https://csts.mst.edu/events/

With the rise of the use of generative AI in most facets of human life, scholars, practitioners, and the general public should pause frequently to ask questions about the technologies that humans are rapidly allowing to have more and more agency over our daily lives.  What is AI? What does it mean to be artificial? How is intelligence created? What are the advantages and disadvantages  when data gathered by artificial intelligence impacts human decision-making in areas such as healthcare, personal security, or consumerism? What do you do when your smart device tells you to breathe or move or sleep and what does this suggest about the future of human agency?

Submit abstracts by end of day, March 1: https://forms.gle/oqhRtjrkbX2n9YCP6

Digital Capitalism: Beyond the Neoliberal Paradigm?

https://networks.h-net.org/group/announcements/20024866/final-cfp-digital-capitalism-beyond-neoliberal-paradigm

Monday 3 June 2024, 9am-5pm

Digital capitalism is the defining system of the early 21st century. As evidenced by the rise in immaterial labour, digital markets, and widespread surveillance, collection and commodification of personal data, more and more of our daily interactions fall under digital capitalism’s totalising claws. Mainstream critiques of digital capitalism have tended to interpret digital capitalism as an exclusively neoliberal project. This conference challenges these mainstream critiques and asks what it would mean to think about digital capitalism beyond the neoliberal paradigm.

The submission deadline is 1st March 2024.

THE POLITICS OF REPRODUCTION: SURROGACY IN LITERATURE, FILM, VISUAL ART, AND SOCIAL MEDIA

https://networks.h-net.org/group/announcements/20025204/politics-reproduction-surrogacy-literature-film-visual-art-and-social

Surrogacy has become a crucial and complex controversial issue in today’s society. It is a process fraught with ethical implications and consequences that concern, among many others, reproductive justice, women’s bodies and health, human rights, social class inequality, feminism, motherhood, masculinity, parenthood, and the concept of the family. While surrogacy is currently banned in several countries, its literary, cinematographic, and artistic representation has flourished in the past 20 years, contributing to stimulating debates that concern both the humanities and the medical humanities. This global symposium invites presentations on issues related to all aspects of surrogacy. How do literature, film, and visual art portray and problematize surrogacy?

Proposals due by June 30, 2024 to Giulia Po DeLisle at giulia_delisle@uml.edu & Laura Lazzari at lazzari.laura@gmail.com

Call to participate: Dear Body of Water

https://dearbodyofwater.poetsforscience.org/

Our project with the University of Arizona Poetry Center and Kent State University's Wick Poetry Center has been welcoming love letters to bodies of water across the globe to cultivate care for watersheds. 

Received postcards are activating a growing map. (Click pins or gallery "grid" to read incoming words across the world.) More plans and partnerships are in the works, co-creating "tributaries" to steward water across communities. You can make a difference by addressing a body of water about whom you care. Every voice, like every drop of water, counts. 

Please spread the word & share the invite (water party kits are available for educators/groups, too). If you are already engaged in water-conscious activities in your community, please share your efforts! We wish to connect. The planet is mostly water. The human body is mostly water. We are all bodies of water. Join the chorus of care to interrelate the lifeblood of our planetary home.

Teaching While Queer

On the surface, our educational institutions may appear to be more and more welcoming, perhaps

even safe. But this could not be further from the truth. Over my years of teaching in public schools, I  have found there to be a number of unique challenges faced by queer educators; challenges that are  often hidden from view. This is a call to action, to highlight the need for systemic changes and radical rethinking, to bravely share the many ways we encounter systemic oppression in our school communities and to open up a space for discourse that will help to dismantle those systems and continue the work of envisioning a future of queer liberation. This is a call for personal essays, poetry, and interviews, intended for a broad audience, of up to five thousand words. Submission deadline: August 1st, 2023.

Othermothering and Community Mothering

https://demeterpress.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/CFP-for-Othermothers-and-Community-Mothers-Demeter-Press-.pdf

This anthology explores the multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary perspectives on othermothers and mothers who engage in community mothering. This practice links to the complex relationship of maternal figures supporting children through networks of collective communities. It also includes the view of othermothers and community mothering to anyone that cares for children that are not biological family members and supports the experiences of blood mothers. We are seeking seeking feminist contributions of the intersectional practices that influence othermothers and community mothers. We seek insight about the various discourses on othermothers and community mothers and how these relationships take shape and influence children and community members.

Abstracts (400-500 words) with a 50-word biography due by May 31, 2024

Queering STEM Education Postdoctoral Fellowship

https://utah.peopleadmin.com/postings/157102

Through a thematic of “Queering STEM Education” we propose to bring together a cohort of STEM education and science studies scholars who take seriously critical frameworks of queer, decolonial, transnational, and / or intersectionality. To bring to the center analytics that are historically on the margins of STEM research, is, so to speak, a queering endeavor. Therefore, to queer STEM is truly an interdisciplinary and methodological complex undertaking. That is, to queer is to contend with the norms with how one does research, the modalities of research, the subjects in research, and the research questions asked that further how we come to know what counts as STEM. As fields of STEM seek to diversify, it is ever more pressing through a cohort model of scholars that we also to take seriously how research is done, and how a next generation of scholars are supported and trained to cross disciplines.

Deadline: April 1, 2023

“A Tale of Three Pipelines: Locking in the Future”

https://ti.to/psn/spring-possibility-studies-lecture-with-caroline-levine/with/attendance

March 13, 2024/ 15 GMT/ Online (Zoom)

It is urgent to stop the building of new gas and oil pipelines now, since these lock us into a future of fossil fuel dependency. But are pipelines only pathways of destruction and injustice? Not necessarily. “A pipe can carry fresh water as well as toxic sludge,” as Winona LaDuke puts it. This talk looks at a range of pipelines designed to shape collective life into the future—and it pushes beyond fossil fuels to focus on water systems organized for collective justice, and on career pipelines intended to work against white supremacy.

Talking Back and Speaking Up: Domestic Workers Resisting and Organizing Globally

https://www.facebook.com/events/774738174678045/

Mar 8, 2024 01:00 PM CST

Celebrate International Women’s Day by learning about global domestic worker resistance! Domestic workers have taken back the theft of their time as well as spoken up against burdensome working conditions and soul murdering disrespect. Beginning with what James O. Scott named ‘the weapons of the weak,” Boris suggest that the essential labor of domestic workers in reproducing the household made them indispensable and thus gave them chips in negotiations with both mistresses/masters and employers that never was equal but could be combatted. She explores the International Domestic Workers Federation that emerged out of the struggle for ILO Convention #189, “Decent Work for Domestic Workers” (2011).
