New Book: Technocreep and the Politics of Things Not Seen
New and emerging technologies, especially ones that infiltrate intimate spaces, relations, homes, and bodies, are often referred to as creepy in media and political discourses. In Technocreep and the Politics of Things Not Seen, Neda Atanasoski and Nassim Parvin introduce a feminist theory of creep that they substantiate through critical engagement with smart homes, smart dust, smart desires, and smart forests toward dreams of feminist futures. Contributing authors further illuminate what is otherwise obscured, assumed, or dismissed in characterizations of technology as creepy or creeping.

RATIO ETHICA: Towards Epistemic Justice
RATIO ETHICA: Toward Epistemic Justice is an international conference dedicated to reflecting on the ethical, epistemic, social, environmental, and cultural challenges of the contemporary world. Anchored in the notion of Epistemic Justice, the event brings together scholars, researchers, artists, activists, and members of civil society to promote dialogue among diverse forms of knowledge, disciplines, languages, and lived experiences.
Organized by the University of São Paulo (USP) and the Society for Literature, Science, and the Arts (SLSA), the conference seeks to question hegemonic epistemologies and to value plural, insurgent, Indigenous, Afro-diasporic, migrant, refugee, feminist, queer, and Global South knowledges, fostering a university and a society committed to social transformation, inclusion, and dignity.
