02.05.2024: Queer Data
For our meeting in May, we want to discuss the Introduction and Part I from Kevin Guyan’s book Queer Data, which has been published in 2022. Kevin Guyan ist Chancellor’s Fellow at the University of Edinburgh Business School. His work explores the intersection of data and identity. For a first impression, we recommend the following inspiring discussion, which was recorded as part of Computers, Privacy & Data Protection 2022. Please contact pandu@tu-dresden.de if you do not have your own copy of the book.
13.03.2024: Cyborg Manifesto
At our second meeting, we discussed Donna Haraway’s Cyborg Manifesto. Based on of a recent interview in Philosophie Magazin (No. 74 February/March 2024), in which she places the article and the figure of the cyborg in the wider context of her thinking and work, we were particularly interested in the question of why this article from 1985 to the present day provides an occasion and starting point for current projections, discussions and inspirations.
04.03.2024: Die Macht der Daten. Warum Künstliche Intelligenz eine Frage der Ethik ist.
The topic of our first meeting was the speech at the University of Osnabrück by Prof. Dr. Rainer Mühlhoff in the year of 2022. It is available as an open access publication of the Osnabrück University Press and as a clip on YouTube:
