Register: Email chase.creative.network@gmail.com
Autoethnography, aka including personal details in your academic writing, is a practice some PGRs embrace. Others less so. Join us as we discuss the ins and outs of this practice, review the work of creative writers who have aced this technique, and debate whether it strengthens or harms academic research. This session is open to all PGRs from CHASE Universities. You do not need to be CHASE funded to attend.

All Consuming AI: Societal & Cultural Impacts
Location: The University of Sussex, Falmer Campus and online
Date: 25 June 2024
Hosted by the Sussex Humanities Lab with support from the CHASE Feminist Network
The meteoric evolution and rise in the popularity of AI in recent years has led to both enthusiastic embrace by techno-optimists and cautionary cynicism by critics. What has been advancing quietly in the backdrop since the earlier days of computation has now pervaded mass imagination through its integration into our most commonly used digital technologies. The far-reaching impact of this spans disciplines and industries, with both immediate repercussions to address and far-off consequences we can only speculate on. Bridging the discourse on AI between disparate fields of study is more pressing than ever as the chasm in levels of AI literacy continues to widen.
This interdisciplinary research symposium, hosted by the Sussex Digital Humanities Lab, will take place both online and at the University of Sussex. It comprises research presentations, panel discussions, a keynote speaker and networking opportunities, and key topics will include AI Behaviour, Cultural Narratives and Depictions of AI, and Speculative AI Realities.
This event is supported by the CHASE Feminist Network.

Bodies/Images/Incursions: a Reading and Workshop on Medical Images with Liz Orton
In a short workshop we will explore the politics and poetics of re-working found medical material. We will enjoy the push and pull of images, working with feelings of desire and vulnerability. By co-opting medical gestures such as cutting, stitching and annotation we will use the space of the image to generate our own language.
