*Subject:* January at the DCI: Meet the DCI Fellow, join a workshop
Dear colleagues,
I want to invite you and your students to two events in January. Please share with those at UofT who you think may be interested.
First, since CAUT censure is revoked, the ‘main’ *DCI Fellowship* is active. Our Fellow is Prof. David Wachsmuth, 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 the Urban Politics and Governance https://upgo.lab.mcgill.ca/ research group and co-leads the Adapting Urban Environments for the Future theme of the McGill Sustainability Systems Initiative https://www.mcgill.ca/mssi/. Prof. Wachsmuth’s ground-breaking 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-the-politics-of-the-platform-economy/ in 2019.
We will host a Zoom *meet-the-Fellow on January 13 at noon*. David will talk a bit about his recent research and the project and seminar series he plans to host as part of his Fellowship project over the coming months. He is looking forward to meeting colleagues at UofT and the Faculty. Come say hello and suggest it to students and colleagues who may interested - please spread the word! Please drop me a line for the Zoom link.
Second, Associate Fellows https://dci.ischool.utoronto.ca/meet-the-associate-fellows-at-the-dci-2021-2022/ Loren Britton and Isabel Paehr (aka MELT http://www.meltionary.com/), arts-design researchers who work with games, tech and radical pedagogy, will host a workshop / role playing game session in which we playfully reconfigure what data may mean for trans* and disabled people.
The main workshop is on *February 24* (see Coalition Data Center: Assembling Data Points for Trans* and Autistic Justice https://dci.ischool.utoronto.ca/coalition-data-center-assembling-data-points-for-trans-and-autistic-justice/ for details and participation).
On *January 27 at noon*, they will workshop-the-workshop in an informal Zoom session. Join us if this sounds interesting to you! Please drop me a line for the Zoom link.
Best wishes for this winter term,
Christoph Becker
