SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Urban Tech Collective Lecture | Soft City Sensing
DESCRIPTION:The Urban Tech Collective\, a lab housed in the Digital Studies Institute\, is hosting Professor Anders Koed Madsen for a guest lecture\, \"Soft City Sensing.\"\n\nIn this presentation\, Professor Anders Koed Madsen suggests that the combination of geo-coded digital traces and qualitative AI makes it possible to map the human aspects of urban life in new and interesting ways. They use the label ‘Soft City Sensing’ (SCS) to outline an approach to data-driven urban cartography that takes inspiration from pragmatist theories of publics as well as attempts to create human-centered urban maps by scholars such as Robert Park and Stanley Milgram. The aim with SCS is to advance an ideographic approach to mapping that uses quali-quantitative digital data to tap into the multitude of urban values in circulation around situated urban issues. As such\, it is a call for urban decision makers to expand their criteria for what serves as valid inputs to urban planning.\n\nAfter outlining the theoretical trajectory of SCS\, Professor Koed Madsen will outline their approach through a recent collaboration with a local Danish architecture company called Henning Larsen. In developing a proposition to an idea-competition for the development of a new area of Copenhagen\, they engaged in an experiment to understand the identity of the area though place-based social media data. More specifically they used qualitative AI to map the visual characteristics of the area through patterns in 35.000 Instagram images and its social characteristics through a segmentation analysis of event-attendance amongst Facebook users. Professor Koed Madsen will discuss how this way of visualizing the area slowed down reasoning among the architects involved\, but also came with a range of problems regarding algorithmic effects\, data ethics\, and more.\n\nBio: Anders Koed Madsen is professor in techno-anthropology and computational SSH at Aalborg University where he serves as head of experimental practice at TANTLab. During the last five years he has developed ‘Soft City Sensing’ as a distinct framework for mapping and conceptualizing the social infrastructure of urban publics through the digital traces they leave of their urban life. This work draws on his distinct interdisciplinary background in pragmatist philosophy\, computational humanities\, internet studies and organizational analysis.\n\nWe want to make our events accessible to all participants.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Center for Emerging Democracies (@umichDemocracy) Book Talk | Democracy in Darkness
DESCRIPTION:Attend in person or via Zoom. Zoom registration at: https://myumi.ch/3QrPA\n\nIn this talk\, Professor Carter will cover how state secrecy came to be seen as despotic in the years preceding the American and French revolutions. She will then examine how revolutionaries who sought to fashion representative governments in North America and France confronted the challenge of determining secrecy's place in their new regimes. In a context where gaining public trust seemed to demand transparency\, was secrecy ever legitimate? Whether in Philadelphia or Paris\, establishing popular sovereignty required navigating between an ideological imperative to eradicate secrets from the state and a practical need to limit transparency in government. The fight over this—dividing revolutionaries and vexing founders—would determine the nature of the world’s first representative democracies.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.
