SUMMARY:Media\, Race\, and the Sudanese Civil War | Global Africa Transcontinental Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:In April 2023\, fighting broke out in Sudan between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces. In the ongoing conflict\, thousands have been killed\, millions displaced\, and millions more require urgent humanitarian assistance. In the midst of it all\, another element has become a focal part of this trauma: the media. In this talk\, Dr. Christopher Tounsel (University of Washington) will discuss the war’s historical background\, address why Western media has been comparatively silent in its coverage\, and show how one community’s response to the conflict sheds light on the intersections of race\, media\, and the African Diaspora. \nChristopher Tounsel is Director of African Studies and associate professor of history at the University of Washington. An historian of the Sudan\, Tounsel is the author of Chosen Peoples: Christianity and Political Imagination in South Sudan and Bounds of Blackness: African Americans\, Sudan\, and the Politics of Solidarity. \nThe Global Africa Transcontinental Seminar brings together UW African Studies\, the Department of History at Cheikh Anta Diop University in Dakar\, Senegal\, and the African Program at Sciences Po Paris\, France\, and aims to engage scholars and students around contemporary research on “African Worlds” or ”Global Africa.” The virtual monthly lectures and discussions will connect communities of scholars across the humanities and social sciences in North America\, Africa\, and Europe to discuss themes such as Black radical politics\, decolonial feminisms\, African technologies\, environmental history\, postcolonial migration\, religion and modernity\, and language. Through consideration of the ways in which the three continents have influenced each other and their respective institutional contexts\, the seminar will bring original and situated perspectives on a range of topics and further a rich conversation across institutions\, teaching traditions\, and research.

SUMMARY:Symposium | Gender\, Translation\, and the Short Form in the Eurasian Periodical
DESCRIPTION:Literary modernity did not always appear in book form\, but as a periodical! Throughout the 20th century\, literary and cultural production across much of Central\, Western\, and South Asia reached readers through the pages of periodicals. These periodicals–newspapers\, magazines\, and journals–housed a variety of literary forms ranging from serialized novels\, to poetry\, to short stories\, alongside advertisements\, comics\, and photography. This symposium features emerging literary scholarship that investigates short form fiction as it appears in the rhizomatic 20th century periodical\, and its intersections with translation and gender. How does fiction move across and between languages in 20th century periodical cultures of Eurasia? What does an explicit and intentional consideration of gender in these translingual (and frequently transnational\, or transhistorical) literary movements illuminate? In exploring such questions\, this symposium foregrounds gender\, translation\, and the short form in the growing field of Periodical Studies\, and brings together scholars working on texts from across Eurasia\, in Persian\, Arabic\, Urdu\, Hindi\, Tamil\, Russian\, and Turkish \nThomson Hall : Rm 317

SUMMARY:Lecture: The AI Con with Emily M. Bender and Alex Hanna
DESCRIPTION:Is artificial intelligence on the brink of world domination? Have tech giants created autonomous thinking machines? Will AI render authors\, artists\, and other creatives obsolete? Are we entering an era where computers surpass humans in every way? \nAccording to linguist Emily M. Bender and sociologist Alex Hanna\, the answers to these questions are clear: no\, they wish\, LOL\, and definitely not. What fuels these dramatic predictions is a phenomenon known as AI hype—a misleading narrative that distorts reality to serve corporate interests. Hype doesn’t just exaggerate; it justifies data exploitation\, accelerates surveillance capitalism\, and undermines human creativity by reducing skilled work to mechanical tasks. \nBender and Hanna provide essential tools to identify AI hype\, break it down\, and expose the underlying power plays it seeks to conceal. \nAlex Hanna \nDirector of Research at the Distributed AI Research Institute (DAIR) \nAlex Hanna is the Director of Research at the Distributed AI Research Institute (DAIR) and a sociologist whose work explores the data behind computational technologies and its role in deepening racial\, gender\, and class inequalities. She also studies social movements\, focusing on anti-racist campus protests in the U.S. and Canada. Dr. Hanna holds degrees in computer science\, mathematics\, and sociology from Purdue University and earned her MS and PhD in Sociology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. \nShe is the co-author of The AI Con (Harper\, 2025)\, a critical examination of artificial intelligence and the hype surrounding it. Alongside linguist Emily M. Bender\, she co-hosts Mystery AI Hype Theater 3000\, a lively\, incisive series on Twitch and podcast platforms that deconstructs AI industry narratives. \nDr. Hanna’s research has been published in top-tier social science journals\, including Mobilization\, American Behavioral Scientist\, and Big Data & Society\, as well as leading computer science conferences such as CSCW\, FAccT\, and NeurIPS. She serves as a Senior Fellow at the Center for Applied Transgender Studies and is an advisory board member for the Human Rights Data Analysis Group. \nRecognized for her contributions\, Dr. Hanna has received the Wisconsin Alumni Association’s Forward Award\, been named to FastCompany’s Queer 50 list (2021\, 2024)\, and featured on Business Insider’s AI Power List. She was also highlighted in the Cal Academy of Sciences New Science exhibit\, which celebrates queer and trans scientists of color.
