About this Event

Join Jonathan Zong, a postdoctoral associate at MIT CSAIL for a conversation around .

How do people say "no" when they are not given permission to say no? Feminist and Indigenous scholars and activists have developed the concept of refusal as something that people with the least power in society can take up to challenge authority and open up new possibilities. In this talk, I will discuss my research on data refusal as design: how people work to re-shape systems of large-scale data collection. I draw connections between this work and Kite's artistic and scholarly engagement with Lakota ontologies and Indigenous AI.

This will be a hybrid event with a live video that can be streamed here at 5:30 PM.
