Algorithms of Oppression: Book Group

Monday, September 30, 2019 - 3:00pm to 4:30pm
218 Anne Belk Hall, CAE Classroom 222

In 'Algorithms of Oppression,' Safiya Umoja Noble challenges the idea that search engines like Google offer an equal playing field for all forms of ideas, identities, and activities. Data discrimination is a real social problem; Noble argues that the combination of private interests in promoting certain sites, along with the monopoly status of a relatively small number of Internet search engines, leads to a biased set of search algorithms that privilege whiteness and discriminate against people of color, specifically women of color. Join us to discuss ideas in the book!

Humanities Pedagogy Brown-Bag Lunch: "Teaching with Visual Materials: Controversy & Censorship"

Friday, March 29, 2019 - 12:00pm to 1:00pm
137A Calloway Peak, Plemmons Student Union

Many of us incorporate visual materials of various kinds into the classroom, from 'art' in the most traditional definition, to images from advertisements, popular culture and film. These can be useful teaching tools, and indeed for some disciplines, images are an essential part of class engagement. However, certain images -- especially ones that invite discussions of sexuality or race relations -- can also invite controversy.
