Speculating at the End (?) of Times
Summer school on the future of politics and technology
Department of Social Sciences, University of Naples, Federico II
June 15-17, 2023
This summer school invites PhD students and Junior Scholars for three
days of reflection and discussion on future visions of politics,
technology and their intersection.
The general mood in the early 21st Century is that it is easier to
imagine the end of the world than to imagine the end of our current
socio-economic conditions (or, as the original quote went, ‘the end of
Capitalism’). Yet we will have to do precisely that, since things are
starting to change very quickly at the level of climate change ,
technological development as well as political and economic
transformations, while our theoretical and political imaginaries are
struggling to keep the pace. The purpose of this summer school is to
begin to think about social theory tools for comprehending the possible
direction of these changes.
The summer school consists of one day of keynotes and public panels
(June 15) and one and a half day of round table discussion of position
papers that have been submitted by participants. We have space for ten
papers (call for papers on the website below).
People who wish to participate as auditors (without submitting a paper)
are advised to email an expression of interest to
[1]speculativesummerschool23 at gmail.com by April 30. Acceptance will be
communicated by May 10. Thanks to our generous sponsors, the summer
school if free of charge.

Subject: [Air-L] Registration for Algorithms for Her? Conference in
Sheffield UK
Hi everyone I hope you are doing well!
We still have a few spaces to register *in person *for *Algorithms for
Her?
2 *- a hybrid conference taking place at the Millennium Gallery in
Sheffield on the 23rd and 24th of March 2022. Our Keynotes are Tiara
Roxanne
<https://www.tiararoxanne.com/about.html> and Professor Ros Gill
<https://www.city.ac.uk/about/people/academics/ros-gill>- and we have a
wide range of absolutely amazing presentations from many different
disciplines and geographies.
*Algorithms for her?* is a conference prioritising the study of
intersectional forms of injustice that algorithms (and the systems in
which
they are embedded) often propagate and sustain. Given the significance
of
such processes in our daily lives, and how they disproportionately
affect
those marginalised across intersections of gender, sexuality, class and
race, this event will create a dedicated space for the discussion of
algorithmic oppression and inequality. We are lucky to have received
support from the BRISTT cluster at the University of Sheffield, The
University of Sheffield Digital Society Network and a Meta Seed Grant.
