*About*
Drawing on previously ignored and effaced cultural texts from the 1960s and
1970s, *Crip Screens *foregrounds the insurgent practices of and media by
women and communities of color that contested psychiatric discourses and
their mediated and technological applications. Banner and Parvin, co-editor
of the new book *Technocreep and the Politics of Things Unseen*, will
discuss how resistances and alternatives to technologies of racialized,
gendered, and colonial oppression materialize. Banner will also discuss the
tensions of publishing her book in 2025.

About the Salon Series

A S+T at UW Community Program
<https://depts.washington.edu/societytech/wordpress/community-programs/>,
salons are a conversation series held in-person or online, designed to
elevate the S+T’s cross-campus and cross-disciplinary perspectives on
technologies. Each Salon is a one-hour and fifteen-minute conversation
between three to five affiliates from the S+T network, with a moderator.
The purpose is to recognize and honor live, arranged encounters as a
meeting of the minds, to give greater visibility to the S+T network, and to
cultivate intellectual conditions for deeper collaborations.

Hosted by Society + Technology at UW, co-sponsored by CREATE, The Simpson
Center, and the UW Tech Policy Lab
