Sociology Colloquium: Andre Brock
Friday, February 7 at 3:30 PM
Miller Learning Center, 214
"Doubly Conscious: Black Cybercultures," Andre Brock, associate professor of media studies, Georgia Tech.
This presentation offers a critical approach to new media research and digital sociology, reorienting Western technoculture's practices of "race-as-technology" (Chun 2009) to visualize Blackness as technological subjects rather than as "things". Utilizing critical technocultural discourse analysis (Brock 2018), and drawing from his upcoming book Distributed Blackness, Brock employs Afro-optimism, libidinal economic theory, interface analysis, and critical race theory to illuminate Black Twitter as an exemplar of Black cyberculture: digital practice and artifacts informed by a Black aesthetic.
Brock's scholarship examines racial representations in videogames, black women and weblogs, whiteness, blackness, and digital technoculture, as well as innovative and groundbreaking research on Black Twitter. His book Distributed Blackness: African American Cybercultures (NYU Press, February 2020) offers an innovative approach to understanding Black everyday lives mediated by digital technologies.
Sponsored by the Georgia Workshop on Culture, Power and History and the Willson Center for Humanities & Arts.

7. Arts + Education for Social Justice Conference
February 22-23
https://art4socialjustice.wordpress.com/registration/
We invite scholars, practitioners, artists, and educators -- from the community and the academy -- to join us for the 10th Art & Education for Social Justice Symposium. The goal of this symposium is to include and amplify voices that are often on the margins of academia and to share the methodologies and results of practices that strive to have a direct public impact. The encounter will focus on the guiding question: How are art and education inspiring, affecting, and promoting social change?
This symposium provides an opportunity to gain insight into a range of practices aligned with social justice, and aims to start a conversation across disciplinary areas. This symposium embraces a perspective informed broadly by the notion of cultural pedagogies and looks forward to contributions from both in and outside the field of education.

8. Call for Submissions: a2ru Ground Works
Priority date for submissions is February 28, 2020
http://groundworks.io
The Alliance for the Arts in Research Universities (a2ru) issues a call for submissions to its online peer-reviewed collection of interdisciplinary arts projects, Ground Works.
We welcome submissions that integrate research and practice in the fine, performing, and applied arts and design with other disciplines. We seek a wide range of interdisciplinary works that pose a challenge to traditional peer review methods by inviting examination from multiple disciplinary perspectives. Eligible projects have achieved some initial recognition; they may be collaborative or sole-author, but should demonstrably advance multiple fields within and beyond the arts.
