Good morning, folks,

Erin and I are writing on behalf of the Critical Digital Studies Group to remind you that the last two events of the semester are next week with Dr. Catherine Knight Steele, who will visit us on Monday, November 14th. Please circulate this invitation with your contacts.

Graduate student conversation 10:30am CST (@ PCL Learning Lab 3): Dr. Steele will visit the CDSG to meet with graduate students and talk about her book Digital Black Feminisms and methods in critical digital studies. If you’re interested in research devoted to Black feminisms, technology, digital media, and social justice, this workshop is a wonderful opportunity to think with a leading scholar and others committed to this line of inquiry. There will be breakfast tacos and coffee. Please RSVP with Erin and me by November 10th. (Limited paper copies of Dr. Steele’s book are available. Tell us if you want one!)

Public online talk at 4pm CST (register for her talk here): Dr. Steele will deliver a talk titled “From the Archive to TikTok: Care and Feeding as Praxis in Studying Black Women and Technology.” You’re welcome to share this talk with your contacts across and beyond campus.

The CDSG has been funded by the Gender, Race, Indigeneity, Disability, and Sexuality Studies (GRIDS) initiative. And we’re grateful the Humanities Institute has co-sponsored these last two events. Humanities Institute support provided through the Sterling Clark Holloway Lectureship in the Liberal Arts and the Initiative for Digital Humanities.

Salud,

Iván & Erin
