SUMMARY:Critical Tech Talk: Black Media Philosophy and Beyond with Armond R
 .\nTowns
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Much of the contemporary research on race in communication medi
 a\nstudies begins with media representations. However\, for this talk\,\nA
 rmond R. Towns will focus on the relationship between the modern\nresearch
  university\, race\, and the development of communication and\nmedia studi
 es in the early and mid-twentieth century\, with a focus\nspecifically on 
 US and Canadian communication and media studies. Like\nthe modern universi
 ty\, the discipline of communication and media\nstudies\, Towns argues\, h
 as a difficulty with understanding non-Western\nlife. This talk is a begin
 ning conversation on how to push toward new\nforms of understanding humani
 ty beyond Western life. The topic of who\ncounts as human is crucial in a 
 context where big tech aims to control\nthe future of so-called humanity a
 nd the AI race closes the gap\nbetween human and machine communications.\n
 \nThis is a hybrid in-person and virtual event. Following the talk\,\nther
 e will be a short reception for in-person attendees at the Science\nTeachi
 ng Complex (STC) Room 0050.
