But what happens if we refuse to treat that future as already decided? This panel will discuss two contrasting personas for thinking about generative AI: \u201chypecels,\u201d who embrace AI\u2019s promises so enthusiastically that technological change can appear unstoppable, and \u201ctechnoskepticists,\u201dwho question the larger social, political, and cultural interest AI serves. Ultimately, we aim to think critically about AI not simply as a collection of powerful new tools, but as part of a much larger struggle over who gets to imagine, build, and control the future.\n\nThis event is open to the public, and we encourage all interested faculty, graduate students, and undergraduate students to attend.\n\nFree sandwiches from Potbelly will be provided to the first 100 attendees.\n\nA corresponding opportunity for undergraduate and graduate students to enjoy a free networking lunch with the panelists will be available. Interested students may register for this session using the same form as the main event.\n\nAdvance registration is recommended:\n\nRegister to attend in-person: https:\/\/sessions.studentlife.umich.edu\/track\/event\/22871\n\nRegister to attend on Zoom: https:\/\/umich.zoom.us\/webinar\/register\/WN_V1IsoIFFQ5K6fdVIS00FyA\n\nThis event will be recorded. A full recording will be uploaded to the DISCO Network YouTube channel within approximately one week of the event.\n\nMeet the Panelists:\n\nNina-Simone Edwards is the Technology and Research Librarian at Washington and Lee University School of Law. Her research examines privacy, technology governance, and information justice, with particular attention to how race, vulnerability, and digital access shape experiences of surveillance and cybersecurity harms. She recently completed both a postdoctoral fellowship at Georgetown Law's Institute for Technology Law & Policy, where she worked on the Redesigning the Governance Stack Project, and a Master's in Library and Information Science from The Catholic University of America. She received her J.D. from Georgetown University Law Center.\n\nNgozi Harrison is a Ph.D. Student at the University of California, Los Angeles, in Information Studies, whose research primarily investigates the relationship between machine learning, quantitative and computational methods, and society. His work critiques algorithmic culture and computational reason and sits at the intersection of Black Studies, Critical Quantitative and Computational Methods, and Critical Information Studies. He is currently working on his dissertation proposal, which critically examines the underlying values, norms, and assumptions of machine learning practice to develop new frameworks for liberatory technical practice and justice-oriented technologies.\n\nDJ is an interdisciplinary scholar of race, technology, and learning and an Assistant Professor of Computing at Chicago State University. She particularly examines how and if researchers, educators, and technologists might use and create technologies toward liberatory learning and living. DJ (Stephanie T. Jones) earned her Ph.D. in Computer Science and Learning Sciences and an M.S. in Computer Science from Northwestern University. She holds a B.S. in Computer Engineering and a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from Villanova University. \n\nMeet the Moderator:\n\nRayvon Fouch\u00e9 holds a joint appointment as Professor of Communication Studies, School of Communication, and Professor of Journalism, Medill School of Journalism, Media, and Integrative Marketing Communications, and is currently Associate Dean for Graduate Education in the School of Communication. His major publications include Black Inventors in the Age of Segregation (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2003), Appropriating Technology: Vernacular Science and Social Power (University of Minnesota Press, 2004), Technology Studies (Sage Publications, 2008), the 4th Edition of the Handbook of Science & Technology Studies (MIT Press, 2016), Game Changer: The Technoscientific Revolution in Sports (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2017), and Technoskepticism: Between Possibility and Refusal (Stanford University Press, 2025).

If still having issues, click this link.\u00a0\nFirst-Year Relationship and Sexuality Talk (FYRST) is a required, in-person, and peer-facilitated workshop that came directly from feedback and listening sessions with current University of Michigan students. Our goal is to create an accessible, supportive space for student-driven conversations where all identities and experiences are welcomed and in which students can build skills and tools around identifying goals and values and then communicate effectively about those. Workshops will be offered at multiple locations and times throughout the fall semester, so please sign up for the workshop that works for you!!\u00a0First-Year Relationship Sexuality Talk (FYRST) FAQ:\n\u201cHow many workshops do I have to sign up for?\u201d\nYou only need to sign up for 1 workshop. Attending 1 workshop will fulfill the requirement for the training.\u00a0\n\u201cI see that there is more than one session, does it matter which one I sign up for?\u201d\nIt generally does not matter which workshop you sign up for. There will be a few that are designated for specific groups such as transfer students or for students looking for accommodations. If you do not fit these groups please try to save these workshops for those that do and you are free to choose among any of the other workshops.\u00a0\n\u201cIs this workshop required?\u201d\nThis workshop is required for all transfer and first-year students at the University of Michigan.\n\u201cI\u2019ve experienced harm around relationships or sexual experiences in the past and I am worried that attending this workshop may be harmful for me.\u201d\u00a0\nOur team is aware that students who are coming into the university that have experienced harm in the past. Our workshop is specifically designed to respect and validate the experiences of survivors and has been carefully constructed to avoid any specific descriptions of violence and focus instead on themes of empowerment, communication, and boundary setting. However, if you still have concerns about programming and would like to request alternative programming, please feel free to reach out at SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu.\n\u201cWhat if I struggle to learn in a presentation setting? I\u2019m an active learner.\u201d\nOur workshop is built to meet a variety of learning styles, including time for self-reflection, small group sharing, and resources to take with you to work through on your own time! This workshop is meant to be interactive and inclusive.\u00a0\n\u201cCan I request accommodations?\u201d\nWe considered accessibility in creating this workshop and selecting the locations in which the workshops are help. However, we recognize many places at the University are inaccessible and we've set an * next to workshops that are on the first floor and lack stairs. These workshops also will have a presentation (other workshops we do not) and are a good fit for those who might need a large font. Please sign up for those if you feel that accommodations would assist you and reach out to SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu if you are concerned or have questions.\u00a0\n\u201cI missed my workshop, what should I do ?\u201d\nOur team tracks attendance at each workshop by having participants swipe in with their MCard. If you are not able to attend the workshop you signed up for, our team will continue to send reminder emails until you have completed a workshop. In this case, please sign up for another workshop as soon as you can as the workshop is required and may fill up especially near the end of the semester. No need to contact SAPAC unless you are not able to reschedule.\u00a0\n\u201cI have had gender-based violence training before, can I get this requirement waived?\u201d\nAs this workshop was designed with University of Michigan student feedback in mind, our workshop is unique to the UM community. Our curriculum focuses on individualized reflection and because of its interactive nature, each workshop will be unique to the people attending. Although we are excited you already have familiarity with the subject, this workshop is required for every first year and transfer student.\u00a0\n\u201cI\u2019m a commuter\/non-traditional student, do I still have to attend?\"\nYes, this workshop is required for every first-year and transfer student - not only do we want every student to benefit from having this time to connect with peers, but we also want to make sure your peers benefit from what you bring to our community. If you have any concerns or questions about being able to participate, please contact SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu.\n\u201cI still have questions!
