Ecofeminism x AI

Content

This course explores the entanglements of technology, nature and power by revisiting recent developments in artificial intelligence (AI) through the lens of ecofeminist perspectives.

The course is organized in three one-day sessions, plus a kick-off session.

• Day 1 is about doing the analytical groundwork by discussing foundational and more recent texts on ecofeminism and queer ecology. These works theorize the entanglements of technology and nature from a feminist, gender or queer perspective.
   
• Day 2 is about engaging with the material dimensions of AI by working in small groups on current work on AI, bringing in the analytical perspectives from Day 1 and preparing student presentations for Day 3.
   
• Day 3 is about bringing ecofeminism and AI together by engaging with and discussing student presentations.

Details can be found in the syllabus, which is made available at the beginning of the semester via ADAM.
