Section Title:
Dialogues on Feminism & Tech
Section Info:
Meets with GWS 590 1 and LIS 590. Description: This seminar investigates the intersections of genders and technologies, in theory and in practice. Built around several video dialogues with prominent feminists, the course utilizes an international network of institutions and scholars called FemTechNet. Student projects will be situated within local, interdisciplinary, and cross-institutional conversations. Through reading, discussion, writing, and making, we will add to a growing and global database of materials relating feminist technologies to economies, identities, infrastructures, and movements. Location: Room 341 LIS Building, 501 E. Daniel St., C. 4 GR hours.

Section Title:
Seeing Systems INTERSECT Prog.
Section Info:
Seeing Systems INTERSECT Program - Collaborations, Politics and Systems - Collaboration has emerged as an essential - if enormously fraught - stake for contemporary ecologies and economies of knowledge production. While it has long been central in the development of knowledge practices and data collection in the modern sciences, new information infrastructures have extended potentials for knowledge sharing and learning across communities of difference in diverse fields. This course will explore the politics of collaboration in knowledge work, considering the continuing promise and problem that surround distributed collaborations in data collection, archive building, and analysis - but that now express themselves in new inter-disciplinary ventures (including "biodiversity informatics," "para-taxonomy," and "big data" itself) that invite distinct forms of global participation from diverse lay-experts and publics. Key to the course will be a consideration of emergent experiments in collaborative interventions by transnational hacktivist groups, global citizen labs, and lay science networks.
