CANCELLED – Numbered Lives: Quantum Mediations of Life in Early Anglo-America
April 8, 2020 @ 12:15 pm - 1:30 pm | Humanities 1, Room 210
Jacqueline Wernimont is an antiracist, feminist scholar working toward greater justice in digital cultures. She writes about long histories of media and technology—particularly those that count and commemorate—and entanglements with archives and historiographic ways of knowing. Her book, Numbered Lives: Life and Death in Quantum Media, is out with MIT Press. She is a network weaver across humanities, arts, and sciences. This work includes codirecting HASTAC (Humanities, Arts, Science, and Technology Alliance and Collaboratory) and serving as the Inaugural Chair of Digital Humanities and Social Engagement at Dartmouth College.
Additional Events: Jacqueline Wernimont will be at UC Santa Cruz from April 8th-10th, 2020 as THI’s Scholar-in-Residence. On April 8th, she will present “Quantified Education: Unpacking What We’re Tracking” at CITL’s Annual Convocation. On April 10th, she will lead a workshop on “Feminist in the Academy” for THI’s PhD+ series.
