FYI Best Regards, Ishtiaque Syed Ishtiaque Ahmed Assistant Professor Department of Computer Science Faculty Affiliate, Schwartz Reisman Institute <https://www.torontosri.ca/> University of Toronto, ON, CA Ph: +1 647 220 3482 Skype: syed.ishtiaque.ahmed web: https://www.ishtiaque.net/ My Availability: Google Calendar Link <https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=ishtiaque.uoft%40gmail.com&c…> ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Graeme Hirst — Grad Chair <gradchair(a)cs.toronto.edu> Date: Sun, Nov 15, 2020 at 10:48 AM Subject: [Award announcement] OGS awards for international students; deadline Wed 17 March 2021 To: <grad-announcements(a)cs.toronto.edu> Cc: <supervisors(a)cs.toronto.edu> *Ontario Graduate Scholarship** award applications by international students (only) are not due until next March, but don’t forget. Applications are made centrally through the SGS OGS website, but are then sent to DCS for ranking by the Graduate Awards Committee before being returned to SGS for final adjudication.* *Note: Domestic students are also eligible for OGS awards, but they follow a completely different schedule and application procedure, which is described in a separate announcement.* -- :::: Graeme Hirst • Professor and Associate Chair, Graduate Studies :::: University of Toronto • Department of Computer Science Award Overview *Student Deadline to Graduate Unit:* *23:59., Wednesday 17 March 2021* *Value/Duration:* $5,000 per session for 2 or 3 consecutive sessions *Level of study:* Master’s or Doctoral *Required Legal Status:* International (valid study permit) *Results:* May 2021 Purpose The Ontario Graduate Scholarship (OGS) program encourages excellence in graduate studies at publicly-assisted universities in Ontario. Since 1975, the OGS program has been providing merit-based scholarships to Ontario’s best graduate students in all disciplines of academic study. The scholarship program at U of T is jointly funded by the Province of Ontario and the University of Toronto. The Province allocates OGS awards to universities specifying the number of awards that each may offer to their students annually. The Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities (MTCU) has allocated 22 OGS awards to the University for International students. Accordingly, each graduate unit will receive a quota, ranging from 1-3 applications to be submitted to and adjudicated centrally by SGS. Eligibility *Applicants must:* • Hold a valid study permit effective as of the graduate units’ OGS (international) application deadline; • Be registered or intend to register in an eligible program on a full-time basis in 2021-2021; Ø An eligible program is defined as a full-time program of study of two or three terms at the University of Toronto leading to a graduate degree. A full-time student is one who is in at least 60% of a full course load (40% for students with a permanent disability) or as defined by their institution • Have not exceeded the lifetime maximum of government-funded support or maximum OGS support available for their current level of study (see SGS OGS website <https://www.sgs.utoronto.ca/awards/ontario-graduate-scholarship/#section_4> under maximum support); and • Have achieved at least A- (or equivalent) in *each* of the last two completed years of study (full-time equivalent); *or* if the student has competed two years of graduate studies at the time of application, the student must only demonstrate an overall average of at least A- (or equivalent) on all graduate courses completed. *Note:* If marks used for calculating an applicant's grade point average (GPA) are not available (e.g. courses were graded on a pass-fail basis), then the next most recent available undergraduate or graduate marks should be used to determine eligibility. *To be eligible to hold the OGS, recipients:* • Must register and remain enrolled as a full-time student at U of T in an eligible program at the graduate unit from which the OGS was awarded; • Who withdraw, transfer to part-time status, complete degree requirements prior to the end of their award, or fail to complete the full term, will be required to repay any funds received for the incomplete term; • May accept research assistantships, part-time teaching positions, or other paid employment that does not affect their status as a full-time graduate student and is commensurate with the graduate unit policies. Typically, students holding full-time paid employment are not eligible to receive an OGS from the University of Toronto; and • Cannot hold an OGS award in the same session (overlapping) or from the same award year as an Ontario Trillium Scholarship, Vanier CGS, or another OGS. Application Process Applicants must submit their OGS application using the U of T OGS Online Application. Applicants should review the U of T OGS Application Instructions <https://www.sgs.utoronto.ca/awards-funding/scholarships-awards/ontario-grad…> prior to starting an OGS application. Once the entire application has been completed and submitted online, it will be made available to the Department of Computer Science for review and consideration. *Important note for International students*: Applicants for graduate study who hold a valid study permit by the deadline above are eligible to apply following the same application process. Results Graduate units will update their competition results on the OGS application system, viewable by applicants mid-April 2021. Official award offers will be sent out by SGS in May 2021.

Critical Computing Seminar (Dec 4): Book discussion: "Critical Fabulations" w/ Daniela Rosner
by Ishtiaque Ahmed 11 Nov '20

11 Nov '20

Dear All, We are happy to announce the third seminar as part of our new Critical Computing seminar series this Fall. As you all know, it is a monthly online seminar where each month we read a new book and discuss that with the author(s) on the first Friday of the next month. The objective of the seminar is to create a broader understanding of computing from different ethical, social, and cultural perspectives. You will find more information about this seminar series and upcoming speakers by following this link <https://www.dgp.toronto.edu/critical-computing-seminar/index.html>. You can also subscribe to our mailing list <https://www.dgp.toronto.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/criticalcomputing-thir…> to receive regular updates about the future speakers of this seminar. This month (November), we are reading the book, "Critical Fabulations: Reworking the Methods and Margins of Design <https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/critical-fabulations>" by Daniela K. Rosner <https://www.hcde.washington.edu/rosner>, and we will discuss the book with her on* Friday, Dec 4, 2-3:30 PM EST *over a Zoom meeting. We invite you all to join the seminar. Please check this link <https://www.dgp.toronto.edu/critical-computing-seminar/Daniela%20Rosner.html> to find more details about the seminar and register for the seminar here <http://www.bit.ly/CCS03>. A flyer is also attached to this email and I have appended the seminar details at the bottom of this email. Please feel free to forward this invitation to *anyone* *interested* (*within and outside UofT*). If you have access to the UofT online library, you will be able to download and read this book for free at this link <https://ieeexplore-ieee-org.myaccess.library.utoronto.ca/book/8555178>. We look forward to seeing you all at the seminar! Best Regards, Ishtiaque Ahmed and Robert Soden Critical Computing Seminar Team <https://www.dgp.toronto.edu/critical-computing-seminar/people.html> =========== Seminar Details: =========== DISCUSSION WITH DANIELA K. ROSNER BOOK: CRITICAL FABULATIONS: REWORKING THE METHODS AND MARGINS OF DESIGN 4 DECEMBER, 2020 AT 2-3.30 PM, EST The registration link: here <http://www.bit.ly/CCS03> Find the e-book link: here <https://ieeexplore-ieee-org.myaccess.library.utoronto.ca/book/8555178> Daniela K. Rosner, Associate Professor, Human Centered Design & Engineering, University of Washington Bio: Daniela Rosner is an Associate Professor in Human Centered Design & Engineering (HCDE) at the University of Washington. Her research investigates the social, political, and material circumstances of technology development, with an emphasis on foregrounding marginalized histories of practice, from maintenance to needlecraft. Rosner's work has been supported by multiple awards from the U.S. National Science Foundation, including an NSF CAREER award. She is the author of several articles on craft and technoculture, including “Legacies of craft and the centrality of failure in a mother-operated hackerspace,” Journal of New Media & Society, 2016 and “Binding and Aging,” Journal of Material Culture, 2012. In her book, Critical Fabulations, she investigates new ways of thinking about design’s past to rework future relationships between technology and social responsibility (MIT Press, 2018). Rosner earned her PhD from the University of California, Berkeley. She also holds a BFA in Graphic Design from the Rhode Island School of Design and an MS in Computer Science from the University of Chicago. Rosner serves as co-Editor-in-Chief of Interactions magazine, a bimonthly publication of ACM SIGCHI. *Book Abstract*: In Critical Fabulations, Daniela Rosner proposes redefining design as investigative and activist, personal and culturally situated, responsive and responsible. Challenging the field's dominant paradigms and reinterpreting its history, Rosner wants to change the way we historicize the practice, reworking it from the inside. Focusing on the development of computational systems, she takes on powerful narratives of innovation and technology shaped by the professional expertise that has become integral to the field's mounting status within the new industrial economy. To do so, she intervenes in legacies of design, expanding what is considered “design” to include long-silenced narratives of practice, and enhancing existing design methodologies based on these rediscovered inheritances. Drawing on discourses of feminist technoscience, she examines craftwork's contributions to computing innovation—how craftwork becomes hardware manufacturing, and how hardware manufacturing becomes craftwork. She reclaims, for example, NASA's “Little Old Ladies,” the women who built information storage for the Apollo missions by weaving wires through magnetized metal rings. Mixing history, theory, personal experience, and case studies, Rosner reweaves fibers of technoscience by slowly reworking the methods and margins of design. She suggests critical fabulations as ways of telling stories that awaken alternative histories, and offers a set of techniques and orientations for fabulating its future. Critical Fabulations shows how design's hidden inheritances open different possibilities for practice.

SubjectLine : Undergrad Coop Research Opportunity at Waterloo (deadline Fri 12 Nov, also deadlines in Winter & Summer 2021)
by Joseph Jay Williams 09 Nov '20

09 Nov '20

SubjectLine : Undergrad Coop Research Opportunity at Waterloo (deadline Fri 12 Nov, also deadlines in Winter & Summer 2021) https://grec.cs.uwaterloo.ca/ Please forward to anyone interested. In particular I'd recommend you check out Edith Law's (cced) work that like our lab combines HCI & AI and who is very prominent in the Human Computation community. Kate Larson <https://cs.uwaterloo.ca/~klarson/> and Edith Law <http://edithlaw.ca/> *Human-in-the-Loop Decision System for Managing Forest Fires*. In this project, the student will create a AI decision support tool for managing forest fires, where the algorithm both makes predictions and explains its predictions / uncertainties. The student will design a study where forest fire trainees will use the decision support tool to make decisions about hypothetical forest fire situations, and discuss their reasoning for accepting / rejecting the AI’s recommendation. The ideal candidate would have experience and interest in both AI and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI).

I have been made aware that my email last week contained an incorrect link for the City Internships application form. Please accept my apologies for this error. A corrected link for your students is as follows: https://city-internships.com/apply <https://sendmail2.city-internships.com/l/9aIczNKs892sZ9vHTpL42Jyw/R2qAK07RM…> Applications for our 2021 programs are of course now open, so interested students are encouraged to begin applying. The demand we expected has certainly materialized, but availability of places remains good at this point in time. Best wishes, Lewis _______________________________________________ Dear Professor Ishtiaque Ahmed, I hope you are well. A little later than usual, please find my first communication of the 2020/21 academic year below. As always, if you think its contents will be of interest to your students, please share it with them. And, to the extent you are still able to reach them, your recent alumni too. *In-person programs resume summer 2021* While we have refrained from launching our summer 2021 in-person programs so far, we are now taking a more – albeit cautiously <https://sendmail2.city-internships.com/l/9aIczNKs892sZ9vHTpL42Jyw/PiDYZ3BtF…> – optimistic stance, and will be opening admissions for all summer 2021 programs publicly on Sunday 1st November. Naturally, places are limited and allocated on a first come, first served basis. And we anticipate unusually high demand. Correspondingly, I would like to invite students interested in joining a summer 2021 in-person program to apply now, in advance of the public release, here: www.city-internships.com/apply/ <https://sendmail2.city-internships.com/l/9aIczNKs892sZ9vHTpL42Jyw/jTCX1WIQH…> (We will not be providing in-person programs before June 2021. Yet, our expanded covid-19 assurances <https://sendmail2.city-internships.com/l/9aIczNKs892sZ9vHTpL42Jyw/PiDYZ3BtF…> and student financial aid <https://sendmail2.city-internships.com/l/9aIczNKs892sZ9vHTpL42Jyw/xA41QcVQ0…> will remain in place for all students indefinitely.) *Special remote programs for seniors & new graduates* Our attention in recent months has largely been focused on those whose careers face most imminent disruption; seniors without work experience and new graduates without direct pathways to work. In concert with our academic partners, we have developed two special derivatives of our Remote Program – SemesterAccelerator and GradLaunch <https://sendmail2.city-internships.com/l/9aIczNKs892sZ9vHTpL42Jyw/ogOECD6QV…> – to address the needs of these two groups. The former is a part-time, semester-length program for Seniors (and other students similarly affected by widespread internship cancellations this year) to gain work experience before they graduate and enter the jobs market. The latter is specifically for recent graduates currently navigating the (obviously distressed) jobs market. Students may learn more here <https://sendmail2.city-internships.com/l/9aIczNKs892sZ9vHTpL42Jyw/ogOECD6QV…>. And apply here <https://sendmail2.city-internships.com/l/9aIczNKs892sZ9vHTpL42Jyw/lKM0Kr0K9…> . *Academic partnerships* We were required to redirect a significant proportion of our resources towards ensuring our Spring and Summer students were successfully transferred from in-person to remote placements earlier this year. And, as a consequence, I allowed progress on new Academic Partnership enquiries to fall by the wayside. For those who submitted academic partnership requests in June and July, but did not receive a response, I apologize. I will reach out to you directly in the coming days. With thanks and best wishes Lewis Lewis Talbot City Internships, Founder & CEO [image: CI Logo] +1 310 438 5329 +44 020 3808 4790 *About CI* CI creates globally engaged, career-ready graduates. We partner with traditional educators and leading employers across the globe to help close the skill and knowledge gaps that leave almost half <https://sendmail2.city-internships.com/l/9aIczNKs892sZ9vHTpL42Jyw/URwR9dPs6…> of recent college graduates un- and under-employed. Our experiential education programs, which combine a proven blend of work-based training, cohort-based classes and workshops, and on-the-ground coaching, held in immersive and inspirational settings, dramatically enhance career outcomes.

Research HCI Meeting Tomorrow
by Blaine Lewis 04 Nov '20

04 Nov '20

Hi Everyone! Tomorrow in the HCI meeting we will talk about brainstorming sessions, tips on how to make the best of them… plus discuss how we can have productive brainstorming sessions in covid times. And naturally, what better way do that than via a brainstorming session on (remote) brainstorming? :D If you have a few idle minutes today, try to think of ways we can better support remote brainstorming. And join us tomorrow at 10am. Best, Blaine

FYI Best Regards, Ishtiaque Syed Ishtiaque Ahmed Assistant Professor Department of Computer Science Faculty Affiliate, Schwartz Reisman Institute <https://www.torontosri.ca/> University of Toronto, ON, CA Ph: +1 647 220 3482 Skype: syed.ishtiaque.ahmed web: https://www.ishtiaque.net/ My Availability: Google Calendar Link <https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=ishtiaque.uoft%40gmail.com&c…> ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Jamhoor <jamhooristan(a)gmail.com> Date: Fri, Oct 23, 2020 at 12:52 PM Subject: 1 DAY TO GO - Brewing Resistance: From Emergency to Authoritarianism To: <contact(a)jamhoor.org> 1 DAY TO GO!!!!Dear friends, This is a friendly reminder to Jamhoor's event: book launch of *Brewing Resistance: Indian Coffee House and the Emergency in Postcolonial India* by Dr. Kristin Plys <https://www.utm.utoronto.ca/sociology/people/kristin-plys>. With authoritarian regimes in firm control in India as well as around the world, it is critical to remember how people’s movements have fought for democratic rights and civil liberties before. Public spaces have been central to such mobilization, and it is especially appropriate to think about such spaces in the context of a global pandemic and the re-emergence of restrictive measures this fall. Date: Saturday, October 24 Time: 12:00-2:00pm Eastern time (5pm GMT, 9:30pm IST)Location: Online (Zoom) - *Link Here <https://yorku.zoom.us/j/91036889875>*Register on Eventbrite (free): *Click Here* <https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/brewing-resistance-from-emergency-to-authoritar…> In this book, Plys recounts the little-known story of the resistance movement against the Emergency that brewed in New Delhi’s Indian Coffee House - a colonial institution that turned into a zone of social protest where workers and intellectuals alike gathered. This event will provide an accessible introduction to the events of the Emergency, drawing parallels with the current authoritarian turn, and discussing the role of students’ movements and coffee houses then and now. The goal is to think about how to take lessons from this history and connect them to ongoing struggles, engaging with activists today. There will be ample time for Q&A - attendees will be encouraged to un-mute and participate in the discussion. The time has been selected with a view to making this event accessible to participants across multiple time zones - we hope you will be able to attend!---About JamhoorJamhoor <https://www.jamhoor.org/> is an independent media platform for artists, writers, activists, academics and others to share their work on South Asia.
