Digital technologies can inflict substantial human and environmental
harms: from extractivist economies of mining to toxic e-waste; from
unsafe and oppressive working conditions to rising carbon and heat
emissions and electricity use; from individal and collective
surveillance to economic subordination and emotional depletion. These
harms are unevenly distributed and deeply connected to social, economic
and racial injustices. And yet, conversations about digital
sustainability, climate change and environmental justice rarely use the
logic of 'refuse, reduce, reuse, repurpose, recycle' with regards to
digital technologies. Scholarship and policy on digital sustainability
continues to insist on green digital growth, instead of posing crucial
questions of degrowth and reduction. This summer school brings
togetherprinciples of environmentally driven degrowth; decolonial and
anti-racist environmental justice; and digital disengagement and opt out
to explore whether and how we can reduce, reuse and perhaps even refuse
the digital.

        Subject: Computational Humanities research group at King's: summer seminar

The programme for the summer 2023 seminars organised by
the Computational Humanities research group of King’s College London
(https://www.kcl.ac.uk/research/computational-humanities-research-group)
features four talks on Computational Humanities research. In this
seminar series we’re launching the idea of “reproduci-talks”: after the
presentation of the research, the talks will end with a walk-through of
the project’s code repository or (if relevant) a demo of the tool. See
below for the speakers, dates and titles and see our news page
(https://kingsdh.net/computational-humanities/) for abstracts and bios.
