SUMMARY:STS Colloquium: Nicholas de Monchaux\, UC-Berkeley
DESCRIPTION:Local Code: Technology\, Creative Practice\, and History as Instrument\nGuest Speaker: Nicholas de Monchaux\, UC-Berkeley\nDate: Monday\, March 9\, 2020\nTime: 4pm\nLocation: E51-095\n \nABSTRACT:  Nicholas de Monchaux’s Local Code project comprises a series of design proposals for networked urban environmental infrastructure in New York\, Los Angeles\, and San Francisco; these were developed with local non-profits and community organizations and created using design and mapping software developed by de Monchaux and his team at UC Berkeley since 2010. This talk will showcase these digital tools and their applications\, but speak most of all to the central role the history of technology and design culture plays in de Monchaux’s work. He will explain both the inspiration for Local Code in software experiments supported by ex-NASA administrator Howard Fisher at the Housing and Urban Development in the early 1970s\, as well as a larger critical and historical project that formed part of the work’s publication in 2016. This work contextualizes the project by considering the loose but essential web of interactions between technological and urban design pioneers Warren Weaver\, Jane Jacobs\, Gordon Matta-Clark and Howard Fisher from the 1940s to 1970s. Particularly as planners and designers again turn to software and science to engage urban problems\, de Monchaux argues\, history is an instrumental tool to not just critique\, but also advance\, the state of the art in design practice.\n\nNicholas de Monchaux is Professor of Architecture and Urban Design and Director of the Berkeley Center for New Media.  He is the author of Spacesuit: Fashioning Apollo (MIT Press\, 2011)\, an architectural and urban history of the Apollo Spacesuit\, winner of the Eugene Emme award from the American Astronautical Society and shortlisted for the Art Book Prize\, and Local Code: 3\,659 Proposals About Data\, Design\, and the Nature of Cities (Princeton Architectural Press\, 2016). With Kathryn Moll\, he is principal of Modem. His work has been exhibited widely\, including at the Biennial of the Americas\, the Venice Architecture Biennale\, the Lisbon Architecture Triennial\, SFMOMA\, and the Chicago MCA.\n

SUMMARY:Morison Prize and Lecture in Science\, Technology\, and Society
DESCRIPTION:RECORDING:\n\n\n \n\n\n\nJoin us for the webinar\, Thursday\, October 1\, 2020\, 4pm.\n\nRegister in advance:\nhttps://mit.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_4qJ6VLGyS921W7wnF1QwHA \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar. \n\n\n——————————————————————————————\n \nThis year’s recipient of the Morison Prize and Lecture is Dr. Alondra Nelson.\n\n \n\nDr. Alondra Nelson is president of the Social Science Research Council and Harold F. Linder Professor at the Institute for Advanced Study.  A leading scholar of science\, technology\, and social inequality\, she is author most recently of The Social Life of DNA: Race\, Reparations\, and Reconciliation after the Genome.\n \n\n\n\nIn The Social Life of DNA\, Dr. Nelson takes us on an unprecedented journey into how the double helix has wound its way into the heart of the most urgent contemporary social issues around race. Artfully weaving together interactions with ​root-seekers alongside illuminating historical details and revealing personal narrative\, she shows that genetic genealogy is a new tool for addressing old and enduring issues\, including grappling with the unfinished business of slavery\, establishing ties with African ancestral homelands\, and making legal claims for slavery reparations.\n \n\n

SUMMARY:Artificial Intelligence & Ethics
DESCRIPTION:It turns out that it is not only social scientists and humanists who are raising concerns about the realities and directions of AI; many students and faculty in engineering are also voicing hesitations about all aspects of it\, something few of us have seen with previous technologies. \nListen in as the panelists raise the right issues about broader currents in computer science\, AI\, and society. \n \nStephanie Dick\, University of Pennsylvania\nPANELIST \n\nStephanie Dick is an Assistant Professor of History and Sociology of Science at the University of Pennsylvania. Prior to joining the faculty\, she was a Junior Fellow in the Harvard Society of Fellows. She holds a PhD in History of Science from Harvard University. She is a historian of mathematics\, computing\, and artificial intelligence. Her first book project Making Up Minds: Proof and Computing in the Postwar United States tracks early efforts to automate mathematical proof and the many controversies about minds and machines that surrounded them. Her second project explores the early introduction of computing to domestic policing in the United States\, including databasing practices and automated identification tools. \nABSTRACT: In 1969\, the New York State Police Department became the first in America to create a centralized and standardized computerized law enforcement database. NYSIIS – the New York State Identification and Intelligence System – was developed after the 1957 Appalachin Meeting of organized crime in New York State\, at which Sergeant Edgar Croswell explained numerous “information circulation” bottlenecks and failures that had slowed his infamous Appalachin raid\, which had resulted in over 60 arrests. He reported that some of the main suspects in his investigation were the subjects of “as many as two hundred separate official police files in a surrounding area of several hundred miles\,” and called for more efficient and centralized file-sharing. The resulting NYSIIS system was heralded as a “scientific breakthrough” in policing that would allow improved objectivity and accuracy especially in the identification of individuals who had multiple encounters with law enforcement. However\, like many supposedly “innovative technologies” NYSIIS was in fact very conservative\, serving to reinforce a social order that subjected different parts of the population differentially to surveillance and policing. In this short presentation\, I will describe the system\, and turn quickly to the 1974 Congressional hearings that followed. The hearings were meant to investigate whether or not people’s rights were being violated by law enforcement databasing practices. However\, their inquiries operated entirely within the logic of databasing\, surveillance\, and automated identification at work in systems like NYSIIS\, never questioning its underlying vision of policing or the policed. I use this case to demonstrate how technical choices can foreclose legal\, ethical\, and political ones and how critique\, when it happens on the terms of that which it critiques\, can strengthen\, more than check technical power. \n \nPaul Dourish\, UC-Irvine\nPANELIST \n\n\nPaul Dourish is Chancellor’s Professor of Informatics in the Donald Bren School of Information and Computer Sciences at UC Irvine\, with courtesy appointments in Computer Science and Anthropology. He is also an Honorary Professorial Fellow in Computing and Information Systems at the University of Melbourne. His research focuses primarily on understanding information technology as a site of social and cultural production; his work combines topics in human-computer interaction\, social informatics\, and science and technology studies. He is the author of several books\, most recently “The Stuff of Bits: An Essay on the Materialities of Information” (MIT Press\, 2017). He is a Fellow of the ACM\, a Fellow of the BCS\, a member of the SIGCHI Academy\, and a recipient of the AMIA Diana Forsythe Award and the CSCW Lasting Impact Award.\n\nABSTRACT: The technical community’s response to the challenges of ethics in AI has been to turn towards fairness\, accountability\, and transparency as ways of opening up AI decision-making to human scrutiny. These properties have two characteristics — first\, that they look internally to the constitution of technical arrangements\, and second\, that they gesture towards quantitative assessments of impact. I will explore how we might found a notion of ethics and AI around a collective and relational model founded in feminist ethics of care.\n \nSafiya Noble\, UCLA\nPANELIST \n\nDr. Safiya Umoja Noble is an Associate Professor at UCLA in the Departments of Information Studies and African American Studies.  She is the author of a best-selling book on racist and sexist algorithmic bias in commercial search engines\, entitled Algorithms of Oppression: How Search Engines Reinforce Racism (NYU Press). Dr. Noble is the co-editor of two edited volumes: The Intersectional Internet: Race\, Sex\, Culture and Class Online and Emotions\, Technology & Design. She currently serves as an Associate Editor for the Journal of Critical Library and Information Studies\, and is the co-editor of the Commentary & Criticism section of the Journal of Feminist Media Studies. She is a member of several academic journal and advisory boards\, including Taboo: The Journal of Culture and Education. \n \nD. Fox Harrell\, MIT\nMODERATOR \n\nphoto credit Bryce Vickmark\nD. Fox Harrell\, Ph.D.\, is Professor of Digital Media & Artificial Intelligence in the Comparative Media Studies Program and Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) at MIT. He is the director of the MIT Center for Advanced Virtuality. His research explores the relationship between imagination and computation and involves inventing new forms of VR\, computational narrative\, videogaming for social impact\, and related digital media forms. The National Science Foundation has recognized Harrell with an NSF CAREER Award for his project “Computing for Advanced Identity Representation.” Dr. Harrell holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science and Cognitive Science from the University of California\, San Diego. His other degrees include a Master’s degree in Interactive Telecommunication from New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts\, and a B.S. in Logic and Computation and B.F.A. in Art (electronic and time-based media) from Carnegie Mellon University – each with highest honors. He has worked as an interactive television producer and as a game designer. His book Phantasmal Media: An Approach to Imagination\, Computation\, and Expression was published by the MIT Press (2013). \n  \n

SUMMARY:David A. Mindell: The Work of the Future
DESCRIPTION:The Work of the Future: Building Better Jobs in an Age of Intelligent Machines\n \n\nAutomation will transform our work\, our lives\, our society. Whether the outcome is inclusive or exclusive\, fair or laissez-faire\, is up to us. Getting this right is among the most important and inspiring challenges of our time – and it should be a priority for everyone who hopes to enjoy the benefits of a society that’s healthy and stable\, because it offers opportunity for all. In this work\, those of us leading and benefiting from the technology revolution must help lead the way. \n\nJoin Prof. David A. Mindell\, Frances and David Dibner Professor of the History of Engineering and Manufacturing (STS)\, Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics\, and co-chair\, MIT Task Force on the Work of the Future\, as he discusses the task force report’s findings. \nRegister in advance for this Zoom Webinar: https://mit.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJ0sd-yuqzouHdwSoyMigdNPrWYaoFrTJu7p \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. \n\nIn the fall of 2017\, MIT President Reif issued a call to action\, for the nation and especially for MIT. In response\, in February 2018\, the formation of the MIT Task Force on the Work of the Future was announced and in November 2020\, the task force released its final report\, The Work of the Future: Building Better Jobs in an Age of Intelligent Machines. \nThe report provides insight into how new technologies are changing the nature of work and what institutional reforms are needed to support workers and promote broader shared prosperity. \nThe work of the task force represents the distinctive strengths of the MIT community\, integrating ideas from economics\, engineering\, computer science\, political science\, history\, anthropology\, urban planning\, management\, and more. Task force members worked collaboratively with leaders in industry\, government\, labor\, education\, and the nonprofit sector\, from around the world and across the US\, including from those regions hardest hit by job loss. Together\, they tackled three questions: \n\nHow are emerging technologies transforming the nature of human work and the skills that enable people to thrive in the digital economy?\nHow can we shape and catalyze technological innovation to complement and augment human potential?\nAnd how can our civic institutions – existing and new – ensure that the gains from these emerging innovations contribute to equality of opportunity\, social inclusion\, and shared prosperity?\n\nThe report’s policy recommendations focus on investing in fresh approaches to skill building and education\, improving job quality\, and expanding and shaping innovation. Policy and institutional reform are particularly needed at a time when Covid-19 has exposed many of the weaknesses in our labor market and social insurance system for workers. \nRead more about the task force’s findings on MIT News. \n  \n\n

SUMMARY:Oriana Bernasconi: Documenting Atrocities: Human Rights Archives\, Technologies of Resistance\, and Insurgent Knowledge
DESCRIPTION:“Documenting atrocities: Human Rights Archives\, atrocities artifacts & insurgent knowledge” \nAbstract \nAs Bickford et al. state\, the “modern human rights movement has relied on documents of all forms since its earliest days”.[1] The documentary material that offers evidence of atrocities takes myriad forms. It includes handwritten testimonies and first-hand oral stories\, letters written from concentration camps\, declarations by survivors\, relatives and witnesses\, drawings recreating places of imprisonment or the practices of torture\, clandestine magazines and pamphlets printed in secret\, graffiti denunciations on city walls\, photographs\, videos\, audio recordings\, personal objects\, press clippings and radio news\, documents produced by official agencies or local bureaucrats\, police archives\, and perpetrator confessions. \nThese social objects inscribe and corroborate human rights violations. They name criminals and identify practices and places of repression. They help to reveal the mechanisms with which terror operates. They tell of different forms of dealing with harm\, dispossession\, and mourning. And they also bear witness of practices of denunciation and resistance to violence. \nThe aim of this talk is to discuss the social uses and effects of these objects –that we might call ‘atrocity artefacts’–\, as political technologies contributing to the production of insurgent knowledge and shaping non-violent ways of resistance to political violence. \nExamining uses and effects of different human rights archives that inscribe massive human rights violations committed in the last decades in South America we will understand these artefacts amidst scenes of struggle and social and political transformations both past and present. We will raise questions such as the transposition\, transformation and mobility of atrocity’s artefacts over time and the potentiality of these objects for instituting and organizing the social world\, enrolling and socializing actors or propelling cognitive\, aesthetic and moral processes around which different communities may deal with turbulent episodes and reinforce human rights protection. \n[1] Bickford\, Louis\, Patricia Karam\, Hassan Mneimneh and Patrick Pierce.

SUMMARY:Robin C. Reineke: Forensic Citizenship Among Families of Missing Migrants Along the U.S.-Mexico Border
DESCRIPTION:Forensic Citizenship Among Families of Missing Migrants Along the U.S.-Mexico Border \nAbstract \nSince the mid-1990s\, US federal policy has funneled unauthorized migration through remote portions of the Sonoran Desert\, resulting in thousands of deaths and disappearances. A growing body of literature on the work to find\, care for\, and identify those who have died at international borders largely focuses on forensic authorities or humanitarian volunteers. Often left out of such analyses are the families of the missing and dead\, who I argue are some of the most critical actors in such work. Drawing on fieldwork done between 2006 and 2021\, in this article I discuss how families of missing migrants impact forensic science procedures along the US-Mexico border. They do this through the development of knowledge\, skills\, and relationships with NGOs and government-employed forensic authorities. I argue that families of missing migrants are engaged in active citizenship that builds relationships of care and obligation among and between themselves\, forensic scientists\, and the missing and dead. \nBio: \nRobin Reineke is a sociocultural anthropologist with specializations in transnational migration\, science and technology studies\, human rights\, forensic anthropology\, and biopolitics. Her research and fieldwork are focused on the US-Mexico border region\, especially the Sonoran Desert. Her past research investigated the impact of border deaths and disappearances on immigrant communities\, and the ways in which families of missing migrants have changed the practice of forensic science in the US-Mexico borderlands. From 2006 – 2020\, she worked closely with the Pima County Office of the Medical Examiner\, and then co-founded the Colibrí Center for Human Rights\, which she directed from 2013 – 2019. Dr. Reineke is Assistant Research Social Scientist at the University of Arizona’s Southwest Center and Affiliated Faculty in the School of Anthropology and the Latin American Studies Department. She is a 2021 Confluence Center Faculty Fellow. She was awarded the Institute for Policy Studies’ Letelier-Moffitt Human Rights Award and Echoing Green’s Global Fellowship both in 2014. \nScience\, Technology\, and Human Rights Fall Speaker Series\nHow have science and technology  historically shaped understandings of human rights?
