In honor of the "C.R.O.W.N act", we are creating a space to celebrate natural hair and provide free hair services for students. There will be food, games, and movies shown!

with Lori Emerson, Jussi Parikka, Darren Wershler.

Description: In this talk, we will discuss our recently published The Lab Book: Situated Practices in Media Studies, offering insights into how the book emerged and how it resonates with contemporary developments regarding "labs". While our focus is on media and humanities labs, we expand the discussion to the broader field of research in STS on laboratories as sites of knowledge production which, however, are also thoroughly embedded in questions of imaginaries, politics of infrastructure, as well as social relations and power. Our book uses historical and contemporary case studies to discuss changes in how academic and non-academic practices are conceived and what sorts of techniques sustain the spaces we come to call "labs". As we acknowledge in the book, "the first difficulty in talking about labs with any precision is that the metaphor of the lab has permeated contemporary culture to the degree that it can apply to just about anything." With this starting point, we outline what we call the hybrid lab - a particular kind of a constellation that also applies to historical examples: labs have always already been hybrids.

Join assistant curator/academic liaison Amanda Douberley for a closer look at the exhibition, Encounters with the Collection: Celebrating Art by Women. The exhibition is the second in a series of permanent collection gallery rotations that bring fresh perspectives to the interpretation of the Benton’s holdings. This installation is mounted in support of two 50th anniversary celebrations at UConn: that of the Women’s Center and the Puerto Rican/Latin American Cultural Center. The exhibition features work in a variety of media such as paintings, sculptures, prints, drawings, photographs, posters, ceramics, textiles, and mixed media collages. Spanning the 17th century to the present, the show highlights the work of more than 45 women-identified artists, designers, and collectives.

Co-sponsored by the UConn Women’s Center.
