Appel 脿 participation 脿 la 10猫me classe de magistrale du R茅QEF intitul茅e 芦F茅minisme et technologie: d茅sir, opportunit茅 et r茅sistance:禄. Organis茅 par Alanna Thain et Alex Ketchum (IGSF, 平特五不中), cet 茅v茅nement aura lieu les 14 et 15 novembre 2019 脿 l'Universit茅 平特五不中. Notre conf茅renci猫re principale, Cait McKinney (Universit茅 Simon Fraser) pr茅sentera la conf茅rence 芦Crisis Infrastructures: AIDS Activism meets Online Content Regulation禄.
Cette classe magistrale est ouverte aux doctorant.e.s interess茅.e.s 脿 l鈥檈xploration critique des approches f茅ministes 脿 la rencontre du f茅minisme et des technologies. En explorant les futurs perdus, les futurs pass茅s, les 茅cologies sp茅culatives et les rencontres affectives, les participant.e.s seront ainsi outill茅.e.s pour mieux comprendre l'impact social des technologies de la communication, ses objets et sa dimension relationnelle. Ces discussions s'inscrivent dans un cadre analytique qui prend pour compte la pratique artistique, la praxis et l鈥檃ctivisme. Nous nous int茅ressons sp茅cifiquement aux approches intersectionnelles qui consid猫rent la race, le colonialisme, le genre, la sexualit茅, la classe et les capacit茅s comme cadre d鈥櫭﹖udes.
Les questions relatives au travail, 脿 la justice et 脿 la technologie arrivent 脿 point nomm茅, alors que Montr茅al se transforme en 芦 world鈥檚 leading Artificial Intelligence and Deep Learning Hub禄 (Lindeman, 2017). Samsung, Facebook, Google Brain, Element AI et Microsoft poss猫dent ou d茅veloppent actuellement des campus pour l'IA 脿 Montr茅al. En 2017, le Forum sur le d茅veloppement socialement responsable de l'intelligence artificielle a d茅voil茅 la D茅claration de Montr茅al pour un d茅veloppement responsable de l'intelligence artificielle. Sous la direction du Dr Yoshua Bengio, le Montreal Institute for Learning Algorithms (Mila) a 茅labor茅 son plan 芦AI for Social Good禄, faisant valoir que l鈥橧A devrait stimuler l鈥檌nnovation afin de relever les d茅fis soci茅taux cl茅s qui ont un impact sur la vie de millions de personnes. Il est important que les sp茅cialistes en sciences humaines et en sciences sociales entament ces discussions puisque l'IA et l'apprentissage automatique sous-tendent les types de technologies que nous utilisons.
Nous nous appuyons sur les travaux de penseuses f茅ministes telles que Lisa Nakamura, Donna Haraway, Octavia Butler, Wendy Chun, Moya Bailey, Ruha Bejamin, Sofia Noble, Sophie Lewis, Cathy O'Neil et d'autres qui se penchent sur les liens entre la technologie, les f茅minismes, et la justice. Nous encourageons 脿 la fois les travaux qui traitent des d茅fis futurs li茅s au f茅minisme et 脿 la technologie, ainsi que ceux qui revisitent et r茅茅valuent les p茅riodes pr茅c茅dentes de rencontre, de contestation, de mobilisation et de r锚ve social.
Les 茅tudiant.e.s sont invit茅.e.s 脿 adopter une approche r茅flexive 脿 leurs propres mobilisations des concepts f茅ministes, y compris la mani猫re dont ceux-ci sont connect茅s, retravaill茅s et mis 脿 l鈥櫭﹑reuve par les d茅fis de diff茅rents sujets et objets de recherche, en particulier par rapport aux d茅bats qui animent actuellement nos consid茅rations des connexions entre le pouvoir et les conflits sociaux.
Les participant.e.s s茅lectionn茅.e.s seront jumel茅.e.s 脿 un expert.e de leur domaine qui lira leur travail 脿 l'avance. Les 茅tudiant.e.s pr茅senteront leur travail et recevront ensuite une session de commentaires approfondis dirig茅e par leur expert.e attitr茅.e. Il s鈥檃git d鈥檜ne excellente occasion de recueillir des commentaires et conseils sur les travaux en cours d鈥檜ne vaste communaut茅 de chercheur.e.s engag茅.e.s. Les 茅tudiant.e.s int茅ress茅.e.s sont invit茅.e.s 脿 soumettre une proposition (environ 1000 caract猫res incluant les espaces, indiquant leur affiliation institutionnelle et le nom de leur superviseur.e) avant le 13 septembre 2019 aux deux organisatrices via ce formulaire Google:

Call for participation for the 10th R茅QEF masterclass entitled 芦Feminism & Technology: Desire, Opportunity and Resistance:禄. Organized by Alanna Thain and Alex Ketchum (IGSF, 平特五不中), this event will take place Nov. 14 and 15, 2019 at 平特五不中. Our featured keynote speaker is Cait McKinney (Simon Fraser University) who will speak on 鈥淐risis Infrastructures: AIDS Activism meets Online Content Regulation鈥�.
This masterclass in open to doctoral students engaged in a critical exploration of feminist approaches to the encounter of feminism and technology. Through an exploration of lost futures, futures past, speculative ecologies and affective encounters, participants will better understand the social impact of communications technologies, objects, and relationality. These discussions are embedded within an analytic framework that takes seriously artistic practice, praxis, and activism. We are explicitly interested in intersectional approaches that consider race, colonialism, gender, sexuality, class, and ability as a framework.
Questions of labour, justice, and technology are particularly timely as Montreal grows into 鈥渢he world鈥檚leading Artificial Intelligence and Deep Learning Hub鈥� (Lindeman, 2017). Samsung, Facebook, Google Brain, Element AI, and Microsoft all have or are developing AI campuses within the city. In 2017, the Forum on the Socially Responsible Development of Artificial Intelligence unveiled the Montreal Declaration for a Responsible Development of Artificial Intelligence. Under the guidance of Dr. Yoshua Bengio, the Montreal Institute for Learning Algorithms (Mila) has developed their 鈥淎I for Social Good鈥� plan, arguing that AI should drive innovation to address key societal challenges that impact the lives of millions of people. It is important that humanities and social science scholars enter into these conversations as AI and machine learning undergirds the kinds of technologies we utilize.
We draw on the work of feminist thinkers such as Lisa Nakamura, Donna Haraway, Octavia Butler, Wendy Chun, Moya Bailey, Ruha Bejamin, Sofia Noble, Sophie Lewis, Cathy O鈥橬eil and others who take seriously the links of technology, feminism, and justice. We encourage work that addresses both the future challenges around feminism and technology and that revisits and reassesses previous moments of encounter, contestation, mobilization and social dreaming.
Students are invited to take up a reflexive approach to their own mobilizations of feminist concepts, including how that are connected, reworked and put to the test by the challenges of different research subjects and objects, in particular in relation to the debates that currently drive our considerations of the connections of power and social conflicts.
Selected participants will be paired with an expert in their field who will read their work in advance. Students will present their work and then receive and extended feedback session led by their expert partner. This is an excellent opportunity to receive feedback on work in progress from a wider community of engaged researchers. Interested students are invited to submit a proposal (around 1000 characters including spaces, indicating their institutional affiliation and the name of their supervisor) before Sept 13, 2019 to the two organizers via this Google form:
