SUMMARY:Friday Forum for Graduate Research: Alessia Cecchet
DESCRIPTION:“Eating and Resurrecting the Goats: Animal bodies\, death\, and Western cultural practices” \nAccording to Norse mythology\, two male goats\, Tanngrisnir and Tanngnjóstr\, pull Thor’s chariot. Once they have completed their labor\, these animals can be eaten and resuscitated thereafter\, in order to feed their god in an infinite loop of animal servitude. This myth epitomizes the focus of this dissertation\, which will engage with the ways in which Western societies and culture negotiate animal depth and engage with the materiality of the animal body. This dissertation explores this relationship by focusing on the representation and cultural digestion of the animal body\, specifically on the instances in which animal bodies are\, like in the Norse myth\, “brought back to life\,” in order to serve human needs. Once dead\, their bodies are rearranged-as in the case of taxidermy -so that’s Ann illusion of life can be represented to serve human needs-of knowledge and education\, wonder and discovery\, entertainment\, and amusement. Consequently\, this research focuses on how the animal body is used to mediate its own loss\, in what seems to be a system created for human pleasure. \nAlessia Cecchet is an experimental filmmaker and PhD candidate whose work is invested in the representation of non-human animals. \nFriday Forum for Graduate Research is supported by the Graduate Student Association\, the Humanities Institute\, and the following departments HAVC\, Literature\, History of Consciousness\, Psychology\, and Education. It is a weekly interdisciplinary colloquium series for sharing graduate research across the humanities.

SUMMARY:Robert Nichols: Dilemmas of Dispossession in the Black Radical Tradition
DESCRIPTION:If you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr. \n  \nNumerous political and intellectual traditions have sought to leverage the language of self-ownership as a tool of radical critique\, including Marxism\, feminism\, and Critical Race Theory. But do we ‘own’ ourselves in any meaningful or politically productive sense? This lecture considers the dilemmas involved in this question with particular reference to the Black Radical Tradition\, situating it within the broader framework of ‘dispossession’. \nRobert Nichols is a McKnight Land-Grant Professor and Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of Minnesota (Twin Cities). His areas of research specialization include contemporary political theory (especially Critical Theory\, Marx and Marxism\, Foucault); the history of political thought (especially pertaining to imperialism and colonialism in the 19th century); and the contemporary politics of settler colonialism and indigeneity in the Anglo-American world.

SUMMARY:Camilla Hawthorne: "On Diasporic Ethics- Locating the Black Mediterranean in Italian Citizenship Struggles"
DESCRIPTION:This talk examines the possibilities and limitations of the “Black Mediterranean” (which emphasizes the power-laden relations of cultural exchange and racial violence linking Europe and Africa) as an analytical framework for understanding the historical and contemporary forms of racial criminalization and racialized citizenship in Italy. The emergent “Black Italian” movement in Italy has been increasingly confronted with the limits of national citizenship as a means for addressing racial inequality. In response\, activists have begun to turn toward alternative political imaginaries and practices of community that extend far beyond the Italian nation-state. In this context\, what can the Black Mediterranean open up in terms of new political praxes and transgressive alliance? Specifically\, how might this framework help to bridge Black liberation politics in Italy with refugee rights mobilizations? \nCamilla Hawthorne is Assistant Professor of Public Policy and Inequality at UC Santa Cruz. Camilla received her PhD in Geography with a designated emphasis in Science and Technology Studies from UC Berkeley in 2018. She also holds an MPA from Brown University. Camilla’s work addresses the politics of migration and citizenship\, racism and inequality\, and social movements. Her book project\, tentatively titled Different Waters\, Same Sea: Contesting Racialized Citizenship in the Black Mediterranean\, explores the politics of race and citizenship in contemporary Italy. She is also co-editing a volume about Black Geographies with Dr. Jovan Scott Lewis of UC Berkeley. Camilla serves as faculty member and project manager of the Summer School on Black Europe in Amsterdam\, the Netherlands. \nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr. \n  \nThe Center for Cultural Studies hosts a weekly Wednesday colloquium featuring work by faculty and visitors. The sessions consist of a 40-45 minute presentation followed by discussion. We gather at noon\, with presentations beginning at 12:15 PM. Participants are encouraged to bring their own lunches; the Center provides coffee\, tea\, and cookies. \nAll Center for Cultural Studies events are free and open to the public. Staff assistance is provided by the Humanities Institute.

SUMMARY:Stevenson College Winter 2019 Distinguished Faculty Lecture: Phillip L. Hammack
DESCRIPTION:“Sexual and Gender Diversity in the Era of Radical Authenticity” \nProfessor Phillip L. Hammock will present on findings that challenge traditional scientific paradigms—historically rooted in static\, binary notions of gender and sexual identity—and call for new understandings of identity\, community\, and stigma. \nThe twenty-first century is a time of heightened recognition of diversity in gender\, sexuality\, and relationships—an era of “radical authenticity” in which individuals are increasingly able to align their internal sense of identity with its external presentation. Cultural attitudes and social policies in the United States and elsewhere have increasingly come to legitimize diversity in gender and sexual identity\, with legal recognition of same-sex relationships and heightened visibility of the transgender experience. This presentation reports preliminary findings from a mixed-methods study of adolescents residing in distinct regions of California known for their historic support or hostility toward gender and sexual diversity. Mobilizing multiple sources of data (e.g.\, ethnographic\, interview\, survey)\, three larger stories are emerging that center on (a) the new vocabulary related to gender and sexual identity\, revealed in adolescents’ appropriation of new identity labels that challenge binary conceptions; (b) the endurance of stigma in spite of social change and the resources associated with supportive community settings; and (c) the expansion of the meaning of community for contemporary adolescents\, facilitated by social media. These findings challenge traditional scientific paradigms—historically rooted in static\, binary notions of gender and sexual identity—and call for new understandings of identity\, community\, and stigma. \nFollowed by a reception at the Stevenson Provost House \nThis year’s Distinguished Faculty Lecture is cosponsored with The Humanities Institute\, Oaks College\, and the UCSC Psychology Department. \n

SUMMARY:Borderbus: A Community Conversation about Migration\, Art\, and Social Justice - A Conversation between Felicia Rice and Juan Felipe Herrera
DESCRIPTION:Join recent U.S. Poet Laureate Juan Felipe Herrera and Santa Cruz book artist Felicia Rice in an exploration of the powerful role that poetry and art can play in conversations about the pressing issues of immigration\, belonging\, and home. Herrera and Rice will be joined in this community conversation by representatives of local groups working on social justice and immigration issues\, including local filmmaker Brenda Avila-Hanna. Additionally\, attendees will have the opportunity to contribute to a collaborative piece collecting community stories. \nThe evening’s conversation will be facilitated by UC Santa Cruz Literature professor Kirsten Silva Gruesz. \nBorderbus is a new book project created by Rice in collaboration with Herrera. Herrera’s poem by the same name\, which forms the foundation for Rice’s work\, features a whispered conversation between two women held at the border between Mexico and the United States on an ICE bus. Rice\, whose works build bridges between art forms\, cultures\, artists/audiences\, and technologies\, collaborates with visual artists\, performing artists\, and writers to create book structures in which word and image meet and merge. \nJuan Felipe Herrera is the 21st Poet Laureate of the United States (2015-2016) and is the first Latino to hold the position. From 2012-2014\, Herrera served as California State Poet Laureate. Herrera is also a performance artist and activist on behalf of migrant and indigenous communities and at-risk youth. \nFelicia Rice is a book artist\, book arts educator\, and sole proprietor of Moving Parts Press in Santa Cruz\, CA. Her work has been included in exhibitions and collections both nationally and internationally\, from AIGA Annual Book Shows in New York and Frankfurt to the Victoria & Albert Museum. \nKirsten Silva Gruesz is Professor of Literature at UC Santa Cruz. Through her research and teaching she promotes comparative and multilingual approaches to “American” literature and history. She is the author of Ambassadors of Culture: The Transamerican Origins of Latino Writing. \n  \nSponsored by: UC Santa Cruz University Library\, Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History\, Moving Parts Press\, The Humanities Institute at UC Santa Cruz\, and the following UC Santa Cruz partners: Research Center for the Americas\, Oakes College\, and the Department of Latin America & Latino Studies. \n  \nEmail questions to: \nUCSC Special Collections at speccoll@library.ucsc.edu \n

SUMMARY:Living Writers: Juan Felipe Herrera
DESCRIPTION:Born on the migrant roads of Central California\, Juan Felipe grew up in the literary centers of the new Latinx Civil Rights Movement – San Diego\, Los Angeles and San Francisco. There he was inspired by bilingual and Aztec\, Mayan cultural roots\, as well as urban\, and multi-cultural and spoken word\, jazz styles on community performance stages. Also\, he has been a founder of various poetry\, jazz and afro-cuban percussion fusion ensembles\, and street theatre groups.

SUMMARY:Book Launch: Dana Frank\, "The Long Honduran Night"
DESCRIPTION:Professor Dana Frank will join us to discuss and sign copies of her new book\, The Long Honduran Night—a story of resistance\, repression\, and U.S. policy in Honduras in the aftermath of a violent military coup.\nThis powerful narrative recounts the dramatic years in Honduras following the June 2009 military coup that deposed President Manuel Zelaya\, told in part through first-person experiences\, layered into deeper political analysis. It weaves together two broad pictures: first\, the repressive regime that was launched with the coup\, and the ways in which U.S. policy has continued to support that regime; and second\, the brave and evolving Honduran resistance movement\, with aid from a new solidarity movement in the United States.\nAlthough it is full of terrible things\, this is not a horror story: the book directly counters mainstream media coverage that portrays Honduras as a pit of unrelenting awfulness\, in which powerless people sob in the face of unexplained violence. Rather\, it’s about sobering challenges with roots in political processes\, and the inspiring collective strength with which people face them. \nDana Frank is Professor of History Emerita at the University of California\, Santa Cruz. She is the author of Bananeras: Women Transforming the Banana Unions of Latin America (2005; repr. Haymarket 2016); Buy American: The Untold Story of Economic Nationalism (Beacon\, 1999); Purchasing Power: Consumer Organizing\, Gender\, and the Seattle Labor Movement\, 1919-1929 (Cambridge\, 1994); Local Girl Makes History: Exploring Northern California’s Kitsch Monuments (City Lights\, 2007); and\, with Howard Zinn and Robin D. G. Kelley\, Three Strikes: Miners\, Musicians\, Salesgirls and the Fighting Spirit of Labor’s Last Century (Beacon\, 2001). Her contribution to Three Strikes has been reprinted\, with a new introduction\, by Haymarket Books as Women Strikers Occupy Chain Store\, Win Big (2012). Since the 2009 military coup her articles about human rights and U.S. policy in Honduras have appeared in The Nation\, New York Times\, Politico Magazine\, Foreign Affairs.com\, Foreign Policy.com\, Miami Herald\, Los Angeles Times\, The Baffler\, and many other publications\, and she has testified before both the U.S. Congress and Canadian Parliament. \nThis free event will take place at Bookshop Santa Cruz. Chairs for open seating are usually set up about an hour before the event begins. If you have any ADA accommodation requests\, please email by March 5th.

SUMMARY:Prof and a Pint: "Polarization and Public Discourse: How We Got Here and What We Do Now"
DESCRIPTION:Political discourse in the United States is devolving. From social media to Washington D.C. closed-mindedness\, confirmation bias\, and agenda-driven reasoning are undermining the possibility for constructive dialogue. Where do these destructive tendencies come from? Are they the result of a person’s upbringing\, or intelligence\, or education? A matter of their character? Our research is beginning to provide answers to these questions\, and these answers have profound\, sometimes surprising\, implications for the future of our country. \nPlease join us for a presentation and conversation to learn how the Center for Public Philosophy at UC Santa Cruz is fostering more thoughtful and engaged communities of thinkers\, doers\, and change-makers by using philosophy and cognitive science to teach us all—especially the next generations—how to think and talk to one another differently. \nThe Center for Public Philosophy is a research center within The Humanities Institute at UC Santa Cruz. Please RSVP \n \n  \nJon Ellis is an Associate Professor of Philosophy at UC Santa Cruz and founding director of the Center for Public Philosophy. His current research is on motivated reasoning (cognitive dissonance\, rationalization\, self-deception\, etc.) and\, in particular\, on the role it plays in especially intelligent\, reflective\, and sincere thinkers. He teaches a wide variety of undergraduate and graduate level courses at UC Santa Cruz\, and has published on a broad range of topics including perception\, language\, color\, skepticism\, interpretation\, and rationalization. He received his Ph.D. in Philosophy from UC Berkeley in 2002. \nJuan Ruiz earned degrees in Philosophy and Critical Race & Ethnic Studies at UC Santa Cruz in 2017\, and is currently a master’s degree student in the Philosophy Department. He has been an active High School Ethics Bowl coach for under-served schools in Watsonville\, San Jose\, and Santa Cruz\, CA. Ruiz co-authored the AB540 Student Emergency Fund\, an addendum to CA AB540 Non-Resident Tuition Fee Waiver\, which allocates $300\,000 of unrestricted emergency funds for undocumented students on the UC Santa Cruz campus; and co-founded UCSC’s Minorities and Philosophy chapter. Ruiz received the Chancellor’s Achievement Award for Diversity as a result of furthering diversity\, inclusion\, and excellence at UC Santa Cruz. \nClick here for more information about the UCSC “Prof and  Pint” Lecture Series \n

SUMMARY:Safiya Noble\, Algorithms of Oppression: How Search Engines Reinforce Racism
DESCRIPTION:Please note: this event was rescheduled from February 12 \nThe landscape of information is rapidly shifting as new imperatives and demands push to the fore increasing investment in digital technologies. Yet\, critical information scholars continue to demonstrate how digital technology and its narratives are shaped by and infused with values that are not impartial\, disembodied\, or lacking positionality. Technologies consist of a set of social practices\, situated within the dynamics of race\, gender\, class\, and politics\, and in the service of something – a position\, a profit motive\, a means to an end. \nIn this talk\, Dr. Safiya Umoja Noble will discuss her new book\, Algorithms of Oppression\, and the impact of marginalization and misrepresentation in commercial information platforms like Google search\, as well as the implications for public information needs. \n  \nThis talk is co-sponsored by Kresge College’s Media and Society Lecture Series\, The Science & Justice Research Center\, The Humanities Institute\, and the Department of Sociology. \n— \nDr. Safiya Umoja Noble is an Associate Professor at UCLA in the Departments of Information Studies and African American Studies\, and a visiting faculty member to the University of Southern California’s Annenberg School of Communication. Previously\, she was an Assistant Professor in Department of Media and Cinema Studies and the Institute for Communications Research at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. In 2019\, she will join the Oxford Internet Institute at the University of Oxford as a Senior Research Fellow. \nShe is the author of a best-selling book on racist and sexist algorithmic bias in commercial search engines\, entitled Algorithms of Oppression: How Search Engines Reinforce Racism (NYU Press). \nSafiya is the recipient of a Hellman Fellowship and the UCLA Early Career Award. Her academic research focuses on the design of digital media platforms on the internet and their impact on society. Her work is both sociological and interdisciplinary\, marking the ways that digital media impacts and intersects with issues of race\, gender\, culture\, and technology. She is regularly quoted for her expertise by national and international press on issues of algorithmic discrimination and technology bias\, including The Guardian\, the BBC\, CNN International\, USA Today\, Wired\, Time\, and The New York Times\, to name a few. \nDr. Noble is the co-editor of two edited volumes: The Intersectional Internet: Race\, Sex\, Culture and Class Online and Emotions\, Technology & Design. She currently serves as an Associate Editor for the Journal of Critical Library and Information Studies\, and is the co-editor of the Commentary & Criticism section of the Journal of Feminist Media Studies. She is a member of several academic journal and advisory boards\, including Taboo: The Journal of Culture and Education. She holds a Ph.D. and M.S. in Library & Information Science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign\, and a B.A. in Sociology from California State University\, Fresno where she was recently awarded the Distinguished Alumni Award for 2018.

SUMMARY:Dai Jinhua: “On Twenty-first Century Postcolonialism”
DESCRIPTION:If you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr. \n  \nDai Jinhua’s lecture will address the place of post-colonial theory in the twenty-first century. This question is highly relevant to China\, as it recalls the history of China’s involvement in the non-aligned movement\, and subsequent efforts after the break with the Soviet Union to form third-world solidarities. But Dai calls into question whether the insights of postcolonialism are relevant for the transformations that have taken place in China in the last thirty years\, as part of what she calls our current era of “the post-post-Cold War.” Historically the postcolonial binary of colonization/de-colonization blurred the coordinates of the Cold War\, including most importantly China’s position as a “third” option within the non-aligned third world. Since the end of the Cold War\, what can post-colonial theory tell us about the current dominance of finance capital and capital monopoly of new technologies that has reconstructed the entire third world to serve as production zones of cheap goods or fields of monoculture? To what extent is China implicated in these transformations? How can post-colonial theory address the enormous debt imposed on the global South by former colonial powers? Analysis of the cultural in post-colonial theory depended on the political-economic structure of the Cold War. How do we analyze the cultural in today’s world? And how can political critique and resistance become effective once again in China as well as around the world? \nDai Jinhua is an internationally well-known feminist Marxist critic. She is a Professor in the Institute of Comparative Literatureand Culture and director of the Center for Film and Cultural Studies\, Peking University. Her research interests include popular culture\, film studies\, and gender studies. \n  \nThe Center for Cultural Studies hosts a weekly Wednesday colloquium featuring work by faculty and visitors. The sessions consist of a 40-45 minute presentation followed by discussion. We gather at noon\, with presentations beginning at 12:15 PM. Participants are encouraged to bring their own lunches; the Center provides coffee\, tea\, and cookies. \nAll Center for Cultural Studies events are free and open to the public. Staff assistance is provided by the Humanities Institute.

SUMMARY:Kevin McDonald\, “Babbo and the Breadfruit: Plants\, Oceans\, and Empires in the Age of Enlightenment”
DESCRIPTION:If you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr. \n  \nAt the end of the eighteenth century\, a fantastic global plot was conjured up by a network of invested individuals that eventually reached the highest levels of the British state and the Admiralty. The plan: to transplant South Pacific breadfruit to the Caribbean Islands to feed the slaves of empire. Slaves grew sugar that fueled the proto-industrial workforce of England\, and sugar produced rum\, that powered the imperial navy. This research talk will explore the trans-oceanic exchanges not just of breadfruit\, but of Atlantic and Pacific maritime cultures from ca. 1767-1798. Tracing the story of Babbo and the breadfruit allows us to intersect the surprisingly entangled histories of the South Pacific\, Europe\, Africa\, and the Caribbean\, in a global history connected by plants\, oceans\, and empires; and the fusion of not two but three tropical farming systems (Africa\, the West Indies\, and the South Pacific). \nKevin McDonald is an Associate Professor of History at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles\, who received his Ph.D. from UCSC in 2008. His first book\, Pirates\, Merchants\, Settlers\, and Slaves: Colonial America and the Indo-Atlantic World examined the important role played by pirates in the informal trade networks that integrated economies throughout the Indian and Atlantic Ocean trading worlds. His new project focuses on the transfer of breadfruit from the Pacific Ocean to the Caribbean as a potential crop to feed the Caribbean’s massive plantations.

SUMMARY:Book Talk: Carolyn Burke\, Foursome
DESCRIPTION:THI joins Bookshop Santa Cruz to welcome author Carolyn Burke for a discussion and signing of her new book\, Foursome\, a captivating\, spirited account of the intense relationship among four artists whose strong personalities\, passionate feelings\, and aesthetic ideals drew them together\, pulled them apart\, and profoundly influenced the very shape of twentieth-century art. This event is cosponsored by The Humanities Institute UC Santa Cruz. \nNew York\, 1921: Alfred Stieglitz\, the most influential figure in early twentieth-century photography\, celebrates the success of his latest exhibition—the centerpiece\, a series of nude portraits of the young Georgia O’Keeffe\, soon to be his wife. It is a turning point for O’Keeffe\, poised to make her entrance into the art scene—and for Rebecca Salsbury\, the fiancée of Stieglitz’s protégé at the time\, Paul Strand. When Strand introduces Salsbury to Stieglitz and O’Keeffe\, it is the first moment of a bond between the two couples that will last more than a decade and reverberate throughout their lives. In the years that followed\, O’Keeffe and Stieglitz became the preeminent couple in American modern art\, spurring each other’s creativity. Observing their relationship led Salsbury to encourage new artistic possibilities for Strand and to rethink her own potential as an artist. In fact\, it was Salsbury\, the least known of the four\, who was the main thread that wove the two couples’ lives together. Carolyn Burke mines the correspondence of the foursome to reveal how each inspired\, provoked\, and unsettled the others while pursuing seminal modes of artistic innovation. The result is a surprising\, illuminating portrait of four extraordinary figures. \n“The lives of a quartet of some of the most influential painters and photographers of the early 20th century are chronicled in this intimate and exhaustively researched group biography. [Foursome] offers detailed insight into one of the most important periods in American art.” —Publishers Weekly \nCAROLYN BURKE is the author of No Regrets: The Life of Edith Piaf\, Lee Miller: A Life (finalist for the NBCC)\, and Becoming Modern: The Life of Mina Loy. Born in Sydney\, Australia\, she now lives in Santa Cruz\, California. \nThis free event will take place at Bookshop Santa Cruz. Chairs for open seating are usually set up about an hour before the event begins. If you have any ADA accommodation requests\, please email info@bookshopsantacruz.com by March 11th.

SUMMARY:Matt Cook\, “Depth-of-Field: Translating the benefits of Virtual Reality from the laboratory to the (higher-ed) classroom”
DESCRIPTION:Increasingly accessible Virtual Reality technologies allow course content to be presented in context\, at human scale\, and responsive to the wide range of body-centered interactions. These representational characteristics\, which define our engagement with real-world objects and environments\, have been shown in the literature to improve performance on activities that overlap significantly with target learning outcomes across multiple disciplines. Yet\, relatively few curricular interventions have made full use of VR (or have published on the results of such integrations). This talk will use case studies and associated implementation strategies to explore and narrow this gap in the research literature\, thereby empowering participants to begin thinking about their own VR-based course integrations.

Harrison: “Palestine and the Migrant Question” \nOlivia C. Harrison is Associate Professor of French and Comparative Literature at the University of Southern California. She is the author of Transcolonial Maghreb: Imagining Palestine in the Era of Decolonization (Stanford 2016) and co-editor of Souffles-Anfas: A Critical Anthology from the Moroccan Journal of Culture and Politics (Stanford 2016). Her manuscript-in-progress\, Banlieue Palestine: Indigenous Critique in Postcolonial France\, charts the emergence of the Palestinian question in France\, from the anti-racist movements of the late 1960s to contemporary art and activism. She is currently researching the recuperation of minority discourses by the French far and alt right for a book tentatively titled The White Minority. \nProfessor Harrison will be presenting the last chapter of her current book manuscript\, Banlieue Palestine: Indigenous Critique in Postcolonial France\, which examines the central importance of the Palestinian question in French politics\, society\, and culture. It is a testament to the pervasiveness of (post)colonial discourses on migration that the trope of the migrant as stranger-foreigner is ubiquitous even in anti-xenophobic discourses about the migrant “crisis.” What she call instead the migrant question – the production of a dehistoricized discourse of crisis about the “invasion” of France by colonial subjects-turned-foreigners – is a through line in representations of Palestine in postcolonial France\, from Mohamed arfad valiztek to Genet’s unpublished film script\, Sakinna Boukhedenna’s Journal: Nationalité “Immigré(e)”\, Mohamed Rouabhi’s El menfi / L’exilé\, and the street art of the “Palestine generation.” Already a key concern in the early 1970s when anti-racist activists began invoking Palestine as rallying cry\, the migrant question has taken on even more urgency in recent years. This chapter is devoted to Palestine and the migrant question.

SUMMARY:Augmented Intelligence Summit: Steering the Future of AI
DESCRIPTION:Today many of the concepts\, consequences\, and possibilities involved in a future with advanced AI feel distant\, uncertain\, and abstract. No one has all the answers about how to ensure that powerful AI in the future is beneficial\, either in terms of technical implementation or in terms of transference to the domains of law\, regulations and policy\, industry best practices\, or society at large. There are a number of organizations and initiatives that are working on the issues of AI safety\, ethics\, and governance. \nJoining these efforts with a distinct role that bridges academia and industry\, the Augmented Intelligence Summit offers a unique\, inter-disciplinary approach to learning and creating solutions in this space. We ask: is it possible to develop a collective\, concrete\, realistic vision of a positive AI future that can inform policy\, the development of the industry\, and academic research\, and can it be done inclusively? Our hypothesis is that this is indeed possible\, and we have designed an experiment to test it. \nLearn more: https://futureoflife.org/augmented-intelligence-summit-2019-2/?cn-reloaded=1
