Depending on your circles and/or your areas of expertise, you may wish to share this with any professional associations, forums, reading or working groups, listservs, or other organizations or collectives you are involved with, as well as individual contacts who you think may be interested in the conference subject matter. *Please copy me on outgoing emails *(so I can track who’s connected to what organization, and so I know where the message is going). Thanks in advance for your help in spreading the word. Please let me know if anything’s not clear here, or if you have any questions. Thanks, Liv *Olivia DiGiuseppe *| Project Coordinator *Schwartz Reisman Institute for Technology and Society* <https://srinstitute.utoronto.ca/> University of Toronto *olivia.digiuseppe(a)utoronto.ca* <olivia.digiuseppe(a)utoronto.ca> <http://www.absolutelyinterdisciplinary.com/> *__________________________________* *Email to forward is below:* <http://www.absolutelyinterdisciplinary.com/> Good afternoon, I hope this finds you well. I am reaching out to confirm that the Schwartz Reisman Institute’s inaugural conference, *Absolutely Interdisciplinary* <https://absolutelyinterdisciplinary.com/>, will take place virtually from *November 5-6**th**, 2021*. Below you will find all conference details and links to more information. *About Absolutely Interdisciplinary* Understanding the capacities and limitations of complex new technologies like AI calls for more than just a technical perspective. *Absolutely Interdisciplinary* will convene researchers from across disciplines to build new, interdisciplinary approaches to advance our understanding of how to meet the challenge of ensuring AI and other powerful technologies promote human well-being. This year, *Absolutely Interdisciplinary* takes place virtually, with a one-day graduate workshop on *November 4**th**,* followed by four scheduled sessions across two days on *November* *5**th** and **6* *th**. **Visit the conference website for more information* <https://absolutelyinterdisciplinary.com/> and *register here.* <https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/absolutely-interdisciplinary-tickets-1782593073…> *About this year’s theme* Humans are a fundamentally normative species, with complex cognitive and social systems for shaping behaviour to implement collectively-determined values and norms in support of cooperation. Building AI systems that are robustly aligned with human values requires deep understandings of how these normative systems work. At the same time, advances in AI present unique opportunities to investigate and test what capacities contribute to our ability to build, maintain, and abide by norms. This year, *Absolutely Interdisciplinary* takes up the challenge of exploring these dynamics under the theme *Human and Machine Normativity: New Connections.* *Learn more here.* <https://absolutelyinterdisciplinary.com/aboutaixai> *Speakers* *Jeff Clune* <https://absolutelyinterdisciplinary.com/speakers>, *Vincent Conitzer* <https://absolutelyinterdisciplinary.com/speakers>, *Deborah Gordon* <https://absolutelyinterdisciplinary.com/speakers>, *Mortiz Hardt* <https://absolutelyinterdisciplinary.com/speakers>, *Joel Z.

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.

I am forwarding this invitation to the LIMITS list to invite interested folks to join us. To keep it simple and informal we'll be communicating through email and a shared doc (here: https://pad.riseup.net/p/jja9fZtjL1o_12dZwFpb) for reading suggestions and comments. If we need a mailing list or something more structured we can do that later. If you are interested in joining the reading group, please add your name to the bottom of the doc. You will not receive any further emails about this unless you sign up! If there is anyone else who is interested in joining the reading group, please forward and/or add them to the bottom of the shared doc (which we can pull from to send any announcements). If you would like to opt-out/leave at any time just remove your email from the doc. So far we only have a couple of suggestions made by Christoph. I have added a few I have/want to read as well. Please populate the list with any other suggestions and/or comments, even if they are books you've read before and think everyone should read. The plan is to read 1 book (or a few papers 2-4) per month and all meet once a month for 1-2 hours to discuss them. We will meet via Zoom and I will send a google calendar invite once we have the dates/attendees set. To attempt to accommodate the represented time zones, the meetings will be at 3PM UTC, but the day will be decided via a poll (here: https://www.when2meet.com/?12662659-gEPPo). The first book we are reading is Jason Hickel's "Less is More: How Degrowth Will Save the World" largely because that's what we already decided to start reading during the summer school. For future readings we will probably just have vote. Lastly, if you have any comments or suggestions on the structuring or anything else I've missed please let me know or chime in.

The U of T Student Engagement Awards provide financial support to interested University of Toronto undergraduate and graduate students working in collaboration with one another, including in interdisciplinary teams. Projects that contribute to building and fostering a global community, from across all disciplines, are invited. In recognition of the challenges of the past year, this summer’s U of T Student Engagement Awards will support student-led projects that contribute to rebuilding healthy, resilient, and equitable communities as part of our post-COVID recovery. Given the impact that the pandemic has had on mental health as well as its disproportionate impact on vulnerable populations and communities, submissions focused on these areas are encouraged but not mandatory. If you were unsuccessful last year but are returning to studies in Fall 2021 you are eligible to reapply. If you were successful last year, you are eligible to reapply as well but please note this must be for a new project. Funding will not be provided to support ongoing work related to last year’s projects. Furthermore, depending on the volume of applications we may prioritize proposals from students who did not receive funding last year. We encourage you to share the award information with your friends, classmates, and social networks. The award guidelines can be found here: https://global.utoronto.ca/u-of-t-student-engagement-award/ Best wishes, Julia Office of the Vice-President, International
