The modern world teems with complex life—the animals, plants, fungi, seaweeds, and a dazzling array of single-celled organisms known as the protists. All of these are part of the eukaryotic clade, descended from a common ancestor that lived more than 1 billion years ago. In this talk, I will provide an overview of early eukaryote evolution and the environmental context in which they evolved.

The ideology of AI’s neoliberal culture values machines and their instrumentalizing operations over human embodiment and living labor. Early AI critics at MIT have offered immanent critiques of how AI de-valuates the human body and its embodied skills. This talk focuses on generative speech and image AI to examine how (human) body-centred artistic performance works have critically responded to the AI-ization of society through techno-capitalism.
About the speaker:
The aspirational stance of environmental, queer and urban humanities can help us better understand the opportunities and risks associated with the humanities reaching outward, especially in the context of so-called societal challenges, complex problems, and missions. This panel will present some recent work on the “aspirational humanities”, including their framing, epistemology, imaginaries and tensions. We will discuss how an aspirational humanities relates to the “how” of humanistic critical engagement in the world and a “new university” powered by critical-connective tissue.

Humans have innovated to thrive in Arizona for millennia. Today, many access water with the turn of a tap because of the ingenuity of the Indigenous caretakers of the desert lands who built the canals that are the foundation of our present-day water systems. But too many Arizonans still face water insecurity every day.
