Join M. Remi Yergeau to discuss Technoskepticism: Between Possibility and Refusal with panelists Miranda J. Brady, Rayvon Fouché, Jeff Nagy and Rianna Walcott.

📍 Irene's Pub, 885 Bank St.
🕒 Thursday Oct. 29, 5:00-6:30pm
Free registration: https://carleton.ca/fpga/event/author-meets-readers-technoskepticism-between-possibility-and-refusal/

This is a book about possibility and refusal in relation to new technologies. Though refusal is an especially powerful mode—particularly for those who have historically not been given the option to say no—people of color and disabled people have long navigated the space between saying yes and saying no to the newest technologies. Technoskepticism relates some of these stories to reveal the possibilities skepticism can create.

The case for technoskepticism unfolds across three sections: the first focused on disability, the creative use of wellness apps, and the desire for diagnosis; the second on digital nostalgia and home for Black and Asian users who produced communities online before home pages gave way to profiles; and the third focused on the violence inherent in A.I.-generated Black bodies and the possibilities for Black style in the age of A.I. Acknowledging how the urge to refuse new technologies emerges from specific racialized histories, the authors also emphasize how care can look like an exuberant embrace of the new.

M. Remi Yergeau (they/them) is a Canada Research Chair in Critical Disability Studies and Communication and associate professor of Communication and Media Studies at Carleton University.

Miranda J. Brady is an associate professor in Communication and Media Studies at Carleton University.
