The first will take place at Town Hall in partnership with Elliot Bay Book Company on Saturday October 5th from 7:30-8:45pm. It will be in conversation with Manissa M. Maharawal (Anthropology, American University) and Daniela Rosner (HCDE, UW). It?s a sliding scale event but if you?re a graduate student and would like a free/comped ticket, let Erin know at erinmcel@uw.edu. It?s also free for anyone under 22 per Town Hall?s guidelines. Otherwise, you can reserve tickets here . And then there will be a book talk on campus hosted by the Center for the Studies of Demography and Ecology at Parrington Hall 360 on Friday October 18th from 12:30-1:30pm. This will be in conversation with our UW colleagues Jenna Grant (Anthropology) and Nassim Parvin (iSchool). More info can be found here . In Silicon Valley Imperialism, Erin McElroy maps the processes of gentrification, racial dispossession, and economic predation that drove the development of Silicon Valley in the San Francisco Bay Area and how that logic has become manifest in postsocialist Romania. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork and archival research in Romania and the United States, McElroy exposes the mechanisms through which the appeal of Silicon Valley technocapitalism devours space and societies, displaces residents, and generates extreme income inequality in order to expand its reach. Examining postsocialist dreams of reprivatization and Siliconization, McElroy charts the updating of fascist pasts and geographies of racial banishment on both sides of the former Iron Curtain. At the same time, McElroy attends to how anticapitalist and anti-imperialist activists, artists, and technologists build on socialist worldviews not to restore state socialism but rather to establish more just social formations. Attending to the violence of Silicon Valley imperialism, McElroy reveals technocapitalism as an ultimately unsustainable model of rapacious economic and geographic growth. -- -!-?..-!-..?-!-?..-!-?..-!-?..-!-?..-!-?..-!-?..-!-?..-!- Daniela K.

View the web version of this message [image: University of Washington] OFFICE OF THE PROVOST *This message is being sent to all students, staff, faculty and academic personnel across the University of Washington.* Dear faculty, staff and students, Earlier this year, President Cauce and I launched an AI Task Force to imagine a bold vision for the UW that leverages our leadership in artificial intelligence research to advance all aspects of our mission. The task force has articulated a framework for this vision, and decisions on our path forward depend on your input. As we shape the University?s vision and strategy for artificial intelligence, it is imperative that each of us ? faculty, staff and students ? has the opportunity to contribute our thoughts, ideas and concerns about this powerful technology to ensure that the plans we develop match our opportunities and aspirations. We are seeking as many perspectives as possible as we explore AI?s potential and limitations for our teaching, research, work and students? success. One way to share your input on AI in general and the AI Task Force report is through the *University-wide survey , open until 5 p.m., Friday, Oct. 25*. The other is by attending one of the upcoming online town halls, presented by the AI Task Force. We?ll start with a *?What is AI?? online town hall at noon, Thursday, Oct. 24* , designed to build a shared understanding of AI?s foundations, opportunities, potential and risks. This session will set the stage for future discussions by demystifying AI and exploring how it may impact our work, research, and daily lives. The next session will be on *?AI for Research and Research in AI? at noon, Wednesday, Oct. 30. * Scheduling is underway for the following town halls, and details will be announced soon. - AI for Student Success - AI for Education - AI for Teaching and Learning - AI Infrastructure - AI for Administration I invite you to complete the survey , if you haven?t already, and join me online at noon, Thursday, Oct. 24, to continue the discussion about AI at the UW.

Research clusters* Faculty interested in collaborating on an S+T/STSS research cluster application for 2025-26, please reach out to Leah and/or me directly. There are a few emergent themes (or clustering) that could be pursued together ... around rhetoric and science/scientific expertise; genetics, cancer, and risk; and feminist STS?and perhaps others! *The deadline for the Simpson Center is November 15, 2024.* *2. Join the "What is AI?" Town Hall today at noon (happening in one hour!)*Yesterday, we touched on the ongoing conversations at the university regarding artificial intelligence.
