All are welcome! Flier with more details attached. [image: Screen Shot 2024-11-08 at 12.52.29 PM.png] Please join us for the panel discussion: *IMAGE, TECHNOLOGY, IDEOLOGY: NEW DIRECTIONS IN MEDIA STUDIES* *Thursday, November 14, 3:30-5:00 PM* - Reception to follow! *Communications 202* Mass media relies on the technological reproduction and circulation of images at a vast scale. How have recent changes in the infrastructures of production and distribution transformed the appearance and meaning of images? How have new technologies of circulation impacted the environments they traverse and the lives of those whose work maintains them? And how do new technologies of dissemination transform what it means to see an image? Media scholars Shane Denson (Stanford University), Nicole Starosielski (UC-Berkeley), and Mal Ahern (University of Washington) will discuss a variety of methodological approaches to the history and theory of media technology. Please feel free to circulate! -- Mal Ahern (she/her/hers) Assistant Professor Cinema & Media Studies University of Washington -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Opportunity to share your insights? Warmly, Monika ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Dharma Dailey Date: Wed, Nov 6, 2024 at 2:10?PM Subject: Seeking feedback: ACM-JSM Joint Taskforce on Undergrad Data Science Competencies To: Monika Sengul-Jones >> The ACM-JSM Joint Task Force is putting together curriculum guidelines for undergraduate data science programs. The task force is currently seeking public comment by means of a survey on what competencies need to be part of a data science curriculum. The recommendations of the task force are likely to be influential. ACM curricular guidelines have been very influential in shaping computer science and JSM is major convener for math and stats faculty. Your feedback may make a difference for generations to come! The following link has a few slides put together by Micaela Parker of the Academic Data Science Alliance which contain a link to the survey and a bit more background information .
