It would be great to see you if you have time. I know, short notice and all. If there’s someone else you think would like to come, please let them/me know! Priyank: Adrian Petterson is already joining :) Thanks, Christoph *From:* Christoph Becker *Sent:* September 27, 2021 4:51 PM *To:* 'ISCHOOL-FAC-REG-L(a)listserv.utoronto.ca' < ISCHOOL-FAC-REG-L(a)listserv.utoronto.ca> *Subject:* Meet the Associate Fellows at the DCI 2021-2022 Dear colleagues, I want to briefly share news from the Digital Curation Institute. The DCI Fellowship has become a highly competitive Fellowship sought out by researchers around the world. This year’s Fellowship call was met by 75 applications, out of which 7 excellent applications were shortlisted. Because of this surge in interest, we have introduced a new additional initiative, the Associate Fellowship at the DCI. Let me very briefly introduce the *inaugural Associate Fellows* and their projects. I think they will resonate with many of you: *Dr. Victoria Palacin <https://www.mavipasi.com/>*, last year’s DCI Fellow <https://dci.ischool.utoronto.ca/dci-fellowship-awarded-to-victoria-palacin/>, will continue her research on pseudo-participation in and by design <https://dspace.mit.edu/handle/1721.1/124702/> in relationships to how ideologies manifest in digital technologies. I am very curious to see where this research goes next. *Vanessa Thomas <https://www.linkedin.com/in/vthomas1/>, PhD*, will build on the TechOtherwise <https://techotherwise.pubpub.org/> platform’s Defund Big Tech <https://techotherwise.pubpub.org/pub/dakcci1r/release/3> report to explore through speculative design research how governments and policymakers could take active steps in the directions outlined there. (By the way, there’s a roundtable at 4S happening on that topic <https://tinyurl.com/yhxpxwz6> next week!) As *MELT <http://meltionary.com/MELT.html>*, arts-design researchers *Loren Britton and Isabel Paehr* ask “What would data for trans* and disabled lives be?” in a speculative design project involving a workshop in February 2022 that I look forward to very much! Dr. *Doris Allhutter <https://www.oeaw.ac.at/ita/allhutter>* will further explore the relation between epistemic values and situated agency, especially in Requirements Engineering. (We’ve also organized the second Critical RE workshop <https://criticalrequirementsengineering.wordpress.com/> which took place today.) A more detailed post will be up on the DCI website later this week. We will host various events throughout the year around these projects. I am hosting a small informal online meeting *this Wednesday at 11am* – if you or any of your students would like to join and meet the group, *please let me know*! The “main” Fellowship meanwhile has faced the difficulty of Censure. The DCI Fellowship selection committee decided to award the DCI Fellowship to Prof. David Wachsmuth. Prof. Wachsmuth is Canada Research Chair in Urban Governance at McGill University, where he is also an Associate Professor in the School of Urban Planning and an Associate Member in the Department of Geography. He directs UPGo, the Urban Politics and Governance research group at McGill, where he leads a team of researchers investigating pressing urban governance problems related to economic development, environmental sustainability, and housing markets. He is the co-lead of the Adapting Urban Environments for the Future theme of the McGill Sustainability Systems Initiative <https://www.mcgill.ca/mssi/>, where he is part of a broad interdisciplinary team developing new ways of conceptualizing, measuring, and improving urban sustainability. Prof. Wachsmuth’s groundbreaking work on the impact of digital platforms such as Airbnb on global metropolitan housing markets, and the politics of data and curation it involves, was previously featured in a DCI Lecture <https://dci.ischool.utoronto.ca/prof-wachsmuth-data-and-the-lack-of-data-in…> in 2019. Like many other units <https://censureuoft.ca/statements-uoft-units/> at UofT, the Digital Curation Institute supports Censure and has refrained from hosting events or activities in violation of Censure. The Censure is currently ‘paused’ but not lifted. Given these circumstances, Prof. David Wachsmuth has expressed that he is “thrilled to have been offered” the Fellowship but “unable to accept” until Censure is lifted. A joint statement <https://dci.ischool.utoronto.ca/dci-and-fellow-elect-prof-david-wachsmuth-s…> of David and myself is on the DCI website. (The Associate Fellows are in less privileged positions and not members of CAUT.) Best regards, Christoph Prof Christoph Becker he/him Associate Professor, Faculty of Information Director, Digital Curation Institute University of Toronto www.christoph-becker.info https://twitter.com/ChriBecker

Positioning vital nostalgia as both a critical faculty and a generative practice, Cifor examines the act of saving this activist past and reanimating it in the digital age. *Bio: *Marika Cifor, PhD, is an Assistant Professor in the Information School and adjunct faculty in Gender, Women & Sexuality Studies at the University of Washington. She is a feminist scholar of archival studies and digital studies. Cifor’s book, *Viral Cultures: Activist Archiving in the Age of AIDS, *will be published by University of Minnesota Press in 2022.
