CAROLINE SINDERS: PEOPLE’S HISTORY OF THE INTERNET
11:00 AM EST, Fondation PHI Education Room (451 rue Saint-Jean) AND Online—in-person attendance requires registration
Caroline Sinders will be offering a workshop as part of People’s History of the Internet (working title), a research project which aims at producing a decentralized and global narrative of the network’s presence and impact in our daily lives. Using Miro to build a collaborative framework with participants with differing levels of professional or personal engagement with Internet, the project looks to broaden, shift or remediate accepted narratives or representations of the Internet, and to highlight key figures (some of them women-identified, or BIPOC) and moments which have largely been erased from canonical histories of the Internet. Participants will be invited to contribute data which brings forth our intimate, personal, subjective or countercultural experiences of (and entanglements with) the web.
WORKSHOP | MAY 17TH, THE MILIEUX INSTITUTE

1:00 PM EST, MILIEUX INSTITUTE RESOURCE ROOM (EV 11.705)

learning tools. Some of the tools that will be covered in the sessions
