[Air-L] Technoskepticism book launch - 21 May in London and online

[Zeena Feldman]

Hi folks,

One last call to join us next week for the book launch of Technoskepticism: Between Possibility and Refusal (Stanford University Press, 2025).

When: Wed 21 May 2025 5:30 PM - 7:00 PM
Where: King's College London, Bush House, room BH (NE) 1.03
Registration: https://www.tickettailor.com/events/digitalhumanitieskcl/1659637

The DISCO Network comes to London to consider three strands of technoskepticism: the first focused on disability, the creative use of wellness apps, and the desire for diagnosis; the second on digital nostalgia and home for Black and Asian users who produced communities online before home pages gave way to profiles; and the third focused on the violence inherent in A.I.-generated Black bodies and the possibilities for Black style in the age of A.I. Acknowledging how the urge to refuse new technologies emerges from specific racialised histories, the authors will also consider how care can look like an exuberant embrace of the new.

Please note this is a hybrid event. Guests are invited to join us in-person in London or online via MS Teams. Online attendees will be emailed a Teams link 24 hours before the event.

Warm wishes,
Zeena
