Please take a look below and let me know if you have any questions. Hoping to see some of you in class! All the best, Daniela *Design as research and inquiry* HCDE 555 MW 330-520 SIG 329 / Prof. Daniela Rosner This seminar introduces students to the methodological range of design practices and performances for knowledge production. Where design research tends to emphasize empirically grounded insights with implications for technology development, design inquiry tends to organize critical questions and tensions, offering points for further reflection and analysis. Whether grappling with racial capitalist underpinnings of technology development or looking for moments to transcend them, design scholars work to treat design as a dialogical performance of making and questioning. Through close readings and in-class exercises, students will examine the genealogies of distinct approaches to gain fresh perspectives on critical feminist, antiracist and decolonial techniques. With roots in both engineering and humanistic fields, the methods explored help chart alternative epistemic formations across fields of design studies, science and technology studies, critical technical practice and more. -- -!-?..-!-..?-!-?..-!-?..-!-?..-!-?..-!-?..-!-?..-!-?..-!- Daniela K.

In an effort to more efficiently and fairly distribute limited housing resources, jurisdictions across the US have adopted algorithmic prioritization systems to help select which unhoused people should receive resources. In this talk, we discuss how frontline bureaucrats mediate between the rigidity of the homeless services infrastructure and the messy social worlds of people experiencing homelessness. Drawing on theories of translation and articulation work, the paper proposes ?intermediation? as a means of understanding the position and labor of being in-between an infrastructure and the social worlds it intersects. *Speaker Bio*: Patricia Garcia is an Assistant Professor in the School of Information at the University of Michigan. Her work examines how historically marginalized groups develop agentic relationships with technology and data. She collaborates with public libraries to study how computational justice programs can support girls of color in seeing themselves as active decision-makers who can leverage technologies to participate in individual and collective action. She also examines how data practices used in public service contexts perpetuate forms of oppression and marginalization among vulnerable populations. She draws on feminist and critical data approaches to investigate how data is generated, captured, analyzed, and deployed in public service contexts, such as homeless services and public education systems. Based on findings from these investigations, she creates educational interventions that support vulnerable populations in decision-making processes that facilitate greater control over their data. *Research Symposium links*: - View the Speaker Schedule - Nominate a speaker - Research Symposium Zoom link - View previous symposium recordings here *Zoom details: * - Meeting ID: 949 5798 4405 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This will be a virtual format and will be recorded. *The Crisis of Abundance: Industrial Chemicals and the Problem of Too Much Food* Dr. Adam Romero After WWII, US agricultural output exploded, due in large part to the massive influx of industrial chemicals like pesticides and fertilizers. The consumption of farm products, however, did not keep pace and immense surpluses quickly accrued. This talk explores the role that credit played in the creation of an agricultural system of high chemical input use and chronic surplus production. It examines how the expansion of public and private credit along with the creation of new financial technologies gave farmers the ability to pay for more and more chemicals despite falling crop prices caused by too much food. *Registration Required .* Questions can be sent to uwbocl@uw.edu.
