February 16th, 11am-12pm
Isabella Mariani will discuss her paper, “Alienation and the Commodification of Consumer Attention," which argues that the practices of technology companies of data collection and manipulation of consumer attention results in the deindividuation of consumers, and subsequently their alienation by externalizing their consciously willed activity and depersonalizing their social relationships. Jorge Cortes-Monroy and Chris Tomlins will serve as commentators.
March 16th, 11am-12pm
Bonnie Cherry will discuss her paper, “'Little Kingdoms': Legalized Security and Federal Indian Policy During WWII," which explores the establishment of War Relocation Authority facilities on federal reservation land and argues that liberal administrative practices developed during the allotment/assimilation era of Federal Indian Law provided the legal and procedural template for WRA internment camps. Laura Ramírez and Chris Tomlins will serve as commentators.
