Text reading "New Media and Culture Certificate, D|MD Symposium, Applications due: January 30, April 19, 2024 | UO Knight Library DREAM Lab" is over a lavender background. There is a half sun graphic next to the text.

Description
We invite submissions from UO graduate students for 15-minute presentations on any aspect of data, media, or digital studies for a symposium in the UO Knight Library DREAM Lab on Friday, April 19, week 3 of the spring term at the Data|Media|Digital Symposium.

D|M|D is an opportunity to showcase the exciting multidisciplinary work produced by graduate students across campus. We welcome student participants to attend all of the symposium’s panel sessions to the extent their schedules allow. In addition to panels, we will have informal discussions over food and drinks, a hosted lunch, and presentations by UO faculty.

Eligibility

Presentations can be based on work in progress or research and work in the final stages of development. Proposals should specify clear scholarly or pedagogical goals and should articulate how the design or argument of a data/media/digital project might address those goals.

Any kind of data, media, or digital studies project is welcome. If you aren’t sure if your project fits our call, then it probably does, but please get in touch, and we can offer you our guidance.

Application 
Enter your submission at https://bit.ly/nmcc-dmd by 11:59 p.m. PT on Tuesday, January 30, week 4 of the winter term. The submission form will request an abstract of your proposed presentation and basic information, including any relevant research experience.

Talk by Catherine Malabou: Thursday April 27, 2023 from 2pm to 3:30pm in the Knight Library Browsing Room

Morphing Intelligence and the Anarchist Potential of AI and the Internet. A Talk by Catherine Malabou. Thursday April 27, 2023. 2pm-3:30pm. Location: Knight Library Browsing Room

Join us on Thursday April 27, 2023 from 2pm to 3:30pm in the Knigth Library Browsing Room for this NMCC cosponsored talk by Catherine Malabou titled “Morphing Intelligence and the Anarchist Potential of AI and the Internet.”

Catherine Malabou is a French philosopher. She is a professor of philosophy at The European Graduate School / EGS and professor of modern European philosophy at the Centre for Research in Modern European Philosophy (CRMEP) at Kingston University, London. She is known for her work on plasticity, a concept she culled from Hegel’s Phenomenology of Spirit, which has proved fertile within contemporary economic, political, and social discourses. Widely regarded as one of the most exciting figures in what has been called “The New French Philosophy,” Malabou’s research and writing covers a range of figures and issues, including the work of Hegel, Freud, Heidegger, and Derrida; the relationship between philosophy, neuroscience, and psychoanalysis; and concepts of essence and difference within feminism.

To read Malabou’s latest book, check out Morphing Intelligence: From IQ Measurement to Artifical Brains.
