All seminars take place within the same intimate Coach House setting where McLuhan once held court. In this up-close and personal environment, a range of thinkers – academics, activists, scientists, artists, designers and planners – will explore digital culture from a feminist perspective. The Monday Night Seminars are designed to challenge prevailing cultural notions about technology and provoke new insight on the possibilities for a more equitable technological futu www.eventbrite.ca Sarah Sharma Associate Professor, University of Toronto Director of the McLuhan Centre for Culture and Technology --Institute of Communication, Culture, Information and Technology (UTM) --Faculty of Information (St. George) Website: sarahsharma.com

As Toronto's population continues to grow and the number of residents living in multistorey buildings rises, the ways in which we encourage and support the city's public spaces increasingly matters.

The second session examines the many ways our streets can and should be used – for vehicles, cycling and active transportation, patios, seating areas, pedestrians, plazas and more. What are the opportunities to use streets differently to support public life in the city? Speakers for this session: - *Marianne Hatzopoulou*, Associate Professor Department of Civil and Mineral Engineering and Canada Research Chair in Transportation and Air Quality, University of Toronto - *Jon Johnson*, Assistant Professor, Woodsworth College, University of Toronto - *Elyse Parker*, Director, Policy and Innovation, Transportation Services, City of Toronto Moderated by *Matti Siemiatycki*, Associate Professor and Interim Director, School of Cities, University of Toronto Where We Gather: Public Life vs. Digital Life in Toronto *Tuesday, October 22, 2019* 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Runnymede Public Library, 2178 Bloor Street West (Map <https://schoolofcities.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=63f9ed310ffa87292…> ) The third session addresses the use of technology in public spaces – including ethics, best practices, and upcoming challenges.

Is there a system for people (especially students) to have discussions with each other about CHI papers?
by Joseph Jay Williams 06 Sep '19

06 Sep '19

Is there a system for people (especially students) to have discussions with each other about CHI papers? e.g. could I get a volunteer or two to put together a Google Sheet or Gdoc where we can all list who is working on what, and what kinds of input or discussion might be useful? Even if sections aren't written yet, lots of useful knowledge you can all share!
