With the increasing presence of internet technologies in Havana, digital media has become entangled in these processes, resulting in overlapping internet ecosystems supported by human relationships. In this talk I unpack the social nature of internet engagements in Havana through the lens of relational infrastructure—the people, relationships, and social practices that Cubans rely on to sustain overlapping internet ecosystems as they adapt and endure through social, economic, and political pressures. Drawing on in-person and virtual ethnographic data from the last 10 years, I describe how people in Havana achieve their goals: by stitching together the digital, the physical, and the social. Looking at sociotechnical engagements through this lens reveals innovative strategies alongside power dynamics and structural inequalities, thereby challenging reductive assumptions regarding the impact of internet technologies. I argue that if we want to understand the impact of the “internet” in Havana—in addition to exploring the economic, political, and recreational dimensions of digital engagements—we must also consider how relationships enable and constrain networked exchanges within communities.","tags":[],"title":"Community as Connectivity: The relationality of digital ecosystems in contexts of precarity","type":"event"},{"authors":[],"categories":null,"content":"Resource for Attendee: None\nSeminar Details\nZoom: https://washington.zoom.us/u/acafxuZ9jk Presenter Bio Jared Fishman (he/him) - Jared Fishman is committed to finding innovative solutions to the complex, social justice challenges of our times.

While social media has fostered a sense of belonging for the disability community, disabled social media users are targets of ableism and disability-related hate online. Similar to other historically marginalized individuals, disabled people are more at-risk of experiencing identity-attacks that are damaging to their psychological and emotional well-being and may lead to self-censorship. The very platforms used for community support may also facilitate further marginalization of disabled people. In this talk, I will share my existing contributions in understanding ableism on social media: (1) ableist microaggressions experienced by disabled social media users and (2) ableist hate and harassment experienced by disabled content creators. I will highlight different forms of ableism, including ableist speech (e.g. mocking \u0026 invalidating disability identity) and instances of platform-enabled ableism (e.g. wrongful censorship).

The talk delves into innovative Responsible AI designs to augment climate change mitigation policies and addressing market failures that have led to over 300,000 farmer suicides. I introduce Public Interest Computing as a framework proposing the integration of social and ethical values into Human-AI decision systems from their inception, ensuring foundational guidance for equitable AI design, implementation, and governance. By prioritizing historically marginalized communities and local partners, this framework harnesses AI-enabled insights to scientifically inform high-stakes policy decisions and improve the well-being of invisible millions. Throughout the talk, I emphasize the crucial need for conscientious progress in public sector AI, highlighting its significance not just as a focal point but as a pathway to equitably distribute the benefits of digital technologies across society.","tags":[],"title":"Public Interest Computing: Pluralistic Design of Ethically Responsible AI and Policy","type":"event"},{"authors":[],"categories":null,"content":" Resources for Attendees\nSeminar Details\nZoom: https://washington.zoom.us/j/95254816636 Presenter Bio Dhaval is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Queensland, Australia.

However, little is known about how individuals from under-resourced communities and low socioeconomic status (SES) backgrounds, can practically leverage maker practices to design technology, creating value for themselves or their communities. To investigate this, we collaborated with an e-waste recycling centre, involving 24 participants (staff and low-SES volunteers) in two participatory maker workshop activities. Participants were provided with a generative e-waste toolkit, through which they repurposed e-waste materials and developed novel technology prototypes that created value from their perspectives and agendas. Our findings unpack three factors that influenced their making: balancing personal and community needs; incorporating convenience and productivity; and re-thinking sustainability and connection; and discussing strategies for scaffolding participation and engagement of under-resourced communities in making use of an e-waste generative toolkit to democratize technology design.","tags":[],"title":"Democratizing Making: Scaffolding Participation Using e-Waste to Engage Under-resourced Communities in Technology Design","type":"event"},{"authors":[],"categories":null,"content":" Resources for Attendees\nSeminar Details\nZoom: https://washington.zoom.us/j/95254816636 Presenter Bio Rumaisa Habib is a first year PhD student at Stanford University.

Our proposed framework systematically adapts Web complexity based on geographic variations in mobile broadband prices and income levels. We conduct a cross-country analysis of 99 countries, showing that our framework can better balance affordability and webpage quality while preserving user privacy.

While the hearts and minds of some policy makers have already been won, the real work of closing the digital divide has just begun. Community-based networks have served a crucial role in identifying gaps left by traditional ISPs, but what is their role going forward? This talk explores the past, present, and future roles of community networks in their dual identity as service providers and advocates. In particular, the talk will explore the unique position of community networks in ensuring the long-term equability and sustainability of our digital resources and indeed all resources.","tags":[],"title":"Boring Utilities Don't Exist: Community networks and the long term maintenance of equitable infrastructure","type":"event"},{"authors":[],"categories":null,"content":" Resources for Attendees\nWHO-UNICEF Technical Expert Advisory Group on Nutrition Monitoring (TEAM) on designing effective data visualizations (authored by the Tricia) Seminar Details\nZoom: https://washington.zoom.us/j/93100061611 Presenter Bio Tricia is a PhD student in the Department of Human Centered Design and Engineering (HCDE) at University of Washington.

You can focus on the content and Wowchemy handles the rest.\nHighlight your code snippets, take notes on math classes, and draw diagrams from textual representation.\nOn this page, you’ll find some examples of the types of technical content that can be rendered with Wowchemy.\nExamples Code Wowchemy supports a Markdown extension for highlighting code syntax. You can customize the styles under the syntax_highlighter option in your config/_default/params.yaml file.\n```python import pandas as pd data = pd.read_csv(\u0026#34;data.csv\u0026#34;) data.head() ``` renders as\nimport pandas as pd data = pd.read_csv(\u0026#34;data.csv\u0026#34;) data.head() Mindmaps Wowchemy supports a Markdown extension for mindmaps.\nSimply insert a Markdown markmap code block and optionally set the height of the mindmap as shown in the example below.\nA simple mindmap defined as a Markdown list:\n```markmap {height=\u0026#34;200px\u0026#34;} - Hugo Modules - wowchemy - wowchemy-plugins-netlify - wowchemy-plugins-netlify-cms - wowchemy-plugins-reveal ``` renders as\n- Hugo Modules - wowchemy - wowchemy-plugins-netlify - wowchemy-plugins-netlify-cms - wowchemy-plugins-reveal A more advanced mindmap with formatting, code blocks, and math:\n```markmap - Mindmaps - Links - [Wowchemy Docs](https://wowchemy.com/docs/) - [Discord Community](https://discord.gg/z8wNYzb) - [GitHub](https://github.com/wowchemy/wowchemy-hugo-themes) - Features - Markdown formatting - **inline** ~~text~~ *styles* - multiline text - `inline code` - ```js console.log(\u0026#39;hello\u0026#39;); console.log(\u0026#39;code block\u0026#39;); ``` - Math: $x = {-b \\pm \\sqrt{b^2-4ac} \\over 2a}$ ``` renders as\n- Mindmaps - Links - [Wowchemy Docs](https://wowchemy.com/docs/) - [Discord Community](https://discord.gg/z8wNYzb) - [GitHub](https://github.com/wowchemy/wowchemy-hugo-themes) - Features - Markdown formatting - **inline** ~~text~~ *styles* - multiline text - `inline code` - ```js console.log(\u0026#39;hello\u0026#39;); console.log(\u0026#39;code block\u0026#39;); ``` - Math: $x = {-b \\pm \\sqrt{b^2-4ac} \\over 2a}$ Charts Wowchemy supports the popular Plotly format for interactive charts.\nSave your Plotly JSON in your page folder, for example line-chart.json, and then add the {{\u0026lt; chart data=\u0026#34;line-chart\u0026#34; \u0026gt;}} shortcode where you would like the chart to appear.\nDemo:\nYou might also find the Plotly JSON Editor useful.\nMath Wowchemy supports a Markdown extension for $\\LaTeX$ math. You can enable this feature by toggling the math option in your config/_default/params.yaml file.\nTo render inline or block math, wrap your LaTeX math with {{\u0026lt; math \u0026gt;}}$...${{\u0026lt; /math \u0026gt;}} or {{\u0026lt; math \u0026gt;}}$$...$${{\u0026lt; /math \u0026gt;}}, respectively. (We wrap the LaTeX math in the Wowchemy math shortcode to prevent Hugo rendering our math as Markdown. The math shortcode is new in v5.5-dev.)\nExample math block:\n{{\u0026lt; math \u0026gt;}} $$ \\gamma_{n} = \\frac{ \\left | \\left (\\mathbf x_{n} - \\mathbf x_{n-1} \\right )^T \\left [\\nabla F (\\mathbf x_{n}) - \\nabla F (\\mathbf x_{n-1}) \\right ] \\right |}{\\left \\|\\nabla F(\\mathbf{x}_{n}) - \\nabla F(\\mathbf{x}_{n-1}) \\right \\|^2} $$ {{\u0026lt; /math \u0026gt;}} renders as\n$$\\gamma_{n} = \\frac{ \\left | \\left (\\mathbf x_{n} - \\mathbf x_{n-1} \\right )^T \\left [\\nabla F (\\mathbf x_{n}) - \\nabla F (\\mathbf x_{n-1}) \\right ] \\right |}{\\left \\|\\nabla F(\\mathbf{x}_{n}) - \\nabla F(\\mathbf{x}_{n-1}) \\right \\|^2}$$ Example inline math {{\u0026lt; math \u0026gt;}}$\\nabla F(\\mathbf{x}_{n})${{\u0026lt; /math \u0026gt;}} renders as $\\nabla F(\\mathbf{x}_{n})$.\nExample multi-line math using the math linebreak (\\\\):\n{{\u0026lt; math \u0026gt;}} $$f(k;p_{0}^{*}) = \\begin{cases}p_{0}^{*} \u0026amp; \\text{if }k=1, \\\\ 1-p_{0}^{*} \u0026amp; \\text{if }k=0.\\end{cases}$$ {{\u0026lt; /math \u0026gt;}} renders as\n$$ f(k;p_{0}^{*}) = \\begin{cases}p_{0}^{*} \u0026amp; \\text{if }k=1, \\\\ 1-p_{0}^{*} \u0026amp; \\text{if }k=0.\\end{cases} $$ Diagrams Wowchemy supports a Markdown extension for diagrams. You can enable this feature by toggling the diagram option in your config/_default/params.toml file or by adding diagram: true to your page front matter.\nAn example flowchart:\n```mermaid graph TD A[Hard] --\u0026gt;|Text| B(Round) B --\u0026gt; C{Decision} C --\u0026gt;|One| D[Result 1] C --\u0026gt;|Two| E[Result 2] ``` renders as\ngraph TD A[Hard] --\u0026gt;|Text| B(Round) B --\u0026gt; C{Decision} C --\u0026gt;|One| D[Result 1] C --\u0026gt;|Two| E[Result 2] An example sequence diagram:\n```mermaid sequenceDiagram Alice-\u0026gt;\u0026gt;John: Hello John, how are you? loop Healthcheck John-\u0026gt;\u0026gt;John: Fight against hypochondria end Note right of John: Rational thoughts!
