SUMMARY:Rescheduled to MARCH 12: Safiya Noble\, Algorithms of Oppression: How Search Engines Reinforce Racism
DESCRIPTION:THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED UNTIL MARCH 12.\nPlease join us then.\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:Laurie Palmer: “Public Sun”
DESCRIPTION:“Public Sun” \nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr. \n  \nA. Laurie Palmer ’s place-based work takes form as sculpture\, public projects\, and writing\, and she collaborates on strategic actions in the contexts of social and environmental justice. Her book In the Aura of a Hole: Exploring Sites of Material Extraction (2014) investigates what happens to places where materials are removed from the ground\, and how these materials\, once liberated\, move between the earth and our bodies. She is currently researching the shapes and structures of underground oil shale formations and continuing to develop work on The Lichen Museum\, a massively distributed\, inside-out institution that considers this slow\, resistant\, adaptive and collective organism as an anti-capitalist companion and climate change survivor. \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.  \n  \nAll Center for Cultural Studies events are free and open to the public. Staff assistance is provided by the Humanities Institute. \n
