Subject: Upcoming Talk (10/17): Data Feminism for AI - A Talk & Discussion with Lauren Klein
Dear Friends,
Please join us in person (in San Jose, California) or virtually for this
invigorating talk by Dr. Lauren Klein on "Data Feminism for AI." We'll have
plenty of time for Q&A (from both in-person and virtual) audience members.
*Date*: Oct 17, 3-5pm PST
*Location*: Digital Humanities Center, King Library, San Jose State
University
*Registration*:

[image: DataFem-Quick-01 crop.png]
Please join us for a conversation with Dr. Lauren Klein in the new SJSU
Digital Humanities Cente <https://library.sjsu.edu/digitalhumanities>r. The
development and use of artificial intelligence has become a hot button
topic all over the world. How we use and collect data becomes the
foundation for data storytelling. But, is this all okay? What is data? How
is it being collected? What can we do about this? Are there innovative and
ethical ways to use our data within the development of artificial
intelligence?
Join us for this intriguing conversation: In Data Feminism
<http://datafeminism.io/> (MIT Press, 2020), Klein and her coauthor
Catherine D'Ignazio established a set of principles for doing more just and
equitable data science. Informed by the past several decades of
intersectional feminist activism and critical thought, the principles of
data feminism modeled how to examine and challenge power, rethink binaries
and hierarchies, elevate emotion and embodiment, consider context, embrace
pluralism, and make labor visible. How can these principles be applied to
the current conversation about AI, its present harms, and its future
possibilities? This talk will briefly summarize the principles of data
feminism before moving to a set of real-world examples that show how these
principles can be applied – and extended – in our current technological
landscape.
We'll be raffling off copies of *Data Feminism* to in-person attendees,
thanks to the generous sponsorship of the Department of Humanities, SJSU.
The Zoom link will be distributed prior to the event. We will distribute
the recording after the event to those who have registered.
We invite robust and ongoing conversation in the Zoom chat! The chat will
be staffed with students from the Mozilla Responsible Computing Club.
Please submit questions in advance for Dr. Klein via the registration form.

Subject: Ph.D. Program at Texas A&M
Dear Colleagues,
I wanted to forward along the information below about an informational
session on our PhD program. It is worth noting that Texas A&M now has a
significant cohort of faculty working in the Digital Humanities, a data
science institute, a certificate in Digital Humanities [link?], and a DH
Center that awards grants to graduate students, sending many to DHSI every
year. English Faculty in DH include:
Amy Earhart – Race and Ethnicity Studies, Digital Humanities
Laura Mandell – Digital Editing, Cultural Analytics, Critical
Infrastructure Studies
Sarah Potvin – Digital Humanities, Preservation, Stewardship, and Recovery,
Scholarly Communications, Open Access, and the Public Good
Shawna Ross– Digital Humanities, Digital Pedagogy
Additionally, students have the opportunity to participate in the digital
New Variorum Shakespeare project hosted by the English Department (article
here). Funded by the Modern Language Association, this ground-breaking
project represents a revision history of every edition of Shakespeare’s
plays.
Faculty with strengths both in Digital Humanities and Early Modern Studies
/ Book History, some working on the digital NVS project, include:
Robert Stagg – Director, New Variorum Shakespeare; Early Modern, Shakespeare
Whitney Sperrazzo – Early Modern, Digital Humanities

Abstract
════════
Historical media count among the most attractive sources for
historical research. Following mass digitisation efforts over the past
decades, researchers now face the problem of overabundance of
materials which can no longer be managed with keyword search and basic
content filtering techniques alone even though only a fraction of the
overall archival record has actually been made available. This poses
challenges for the contextualisation and critical assessment of these
sources which can be effectively addressed using semantic enrichments
based on natural language processing techniques. In this lecture
I will present ongoing efforts by the project Impresso. Media
Monitoring of the Past. I will discuss epistemological challenges in
data exploration and interface design as well as opportunities in
terms of source criticism and content exploration including an outlook
to forthcoming releases and ongoing work.
