SUMMARY:Disrupting Computing History with Dr. Mar Hicks
DESCRIPTION:Join the DIGS Lab (Digital Intimacy\, Gender\, and Sexuality Lab) on September 18 for an online lecture by Dr. Mar Hicks. The DIGS Lab is co-hosting the talk as part of the 7th Season of Disrupting Disruptions: the Feminist and Accessible Publishing and Communications Technologies Speaker and Workshop Series (https://www.feministandaccessiblepublishingandtechnology.com)\, organized by Dr. Alex Ketchum. \nDr. Hicks will discuss about Disrupting Computing History to Align Technology’s Past and Present.  \n  \nABOUT THE SPEAKER: \nMar Hicks is an author\, historian\, and professor doing research on hidden histories of computing\, as well as the history of labor and technology. Hicks is currently an Associate Professor at The University of Virginia’s School of Data Science\, in Charlottesville\, teaching courses on the history of technology\, computing and society\, and the larger implications of powerful and widespread digital infrastructures. Their research focuses on how gender and sexuality bring hidden technological dynamics to light\, and how the experiences of women and LGBTQIA people change the core narratives of the history of computing in unexpected ways. Hicks’s multiple award-winning book\, Programmed Inequality\, looks at how the British lost their early lead in computing by discarding women computer workers\, and what this cautionary tale tells us about current issues in high tech. Their new work looks at resistance and queerness in the history of technology. Hicks is also co-editor of the book Your Computer Is On Fire (MIT Press\, 2021)\, a volume of essays about how we can begin to fix our broken high tech infrastructures. \n  \nOther writing and more information can be found at: marhicks.com. \n  \n: September 18\, 2024 | 6-7:30 pm \n: Online \n🌐: Sign up for the event here to receive the zoom link.
