Littlefield, M	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/18/22-05/04/22 Section Title: Science,Technology&SpeculatFic Section Info: SP22 ENGL 578: Feminist Futures: Digital Engagements with Data & Design - Interested in digital collectives, gaming environments, digital domestication, and big data? Enjoy reading science fiction, watching Black Mirror, and listening to the Flash Forward podcast? Then, this is the seminar for you! Using Feminist Technoscientific scholarship as our backdrop, we’ll explore digital environments such as gaming platforms and internet collectives, we’ll reconsider the metaphors and material realities of data “banks,” and reimagine public, private and domestic spheres via techno-mediation. We’ll pay particular attention to marginalized voices, the impact of feminist science studies, and the methodologies of interdisciplinary fields. Our assignments will be practical and may include: a syllabus buildout, a virtual presentation, alt-ac writing for online and social media spaces, and a conference or research paper on a topic of your choosing. Course texts will include plenty of critical/theoretical texts, and speculative fiction of all kinds: novels, television shows, short stories, flash fiction, and video games. This graduate course is intended to serve students in a wide range of disciplines, from the sciences, the humanities, and the social sciences—all are welcome! We will engage in an interdisciplinary dialogue about science, technology, and literature that welcomes many different perspectives. No previous experience with science, technology, or speculative fiction is expected or required. Please note this course will meet synchronously online. We will use Zoom for many of our meetings, but we will also “meet” in other virtual environments throughout the semester. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
