[UWAB] Theory in the Machine, or, A Feminist in a Software Lab - LMC Lecture Series Talk
by Jennifer Whitlow 11 Feb '13

11 Feb '13

Hi ladies, Please see the upcoming opportunity below. Jennifer Whitlow GT College of Computing Program Coordinator for Enrollment jwhitlow(a)cc.gatech.edu 404-385-2441 Theory in the Machine, or, A Feminist in a Software Lab A talk by Professor Tara McPherson, University of Southern California Technology Square Research Building, Auditorium Wednesday, Feb 13, at 2:00pm [cid:6E9BC6F4-B15F-4299-B680-02D2ECFE61A3@hsd1.ga.comcast.net.]<http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ot7MrJhXEPc/UQH6ytTygeI/AAAAAAAAAX4/EE1kV3ZQSWM/s…> Please mark your calendars for the first event in this semester's Distinguished Speaker Series, a talk by Tara McPherson<http://cinema.usc.edu/directories/profile.cfm?id=6590>. McPherson is Associate Professor of Gender and Critical Studies in USC's School of Cinematic Arts, lead PI (with funding from the Andrew Mellon Foundation, the NEH, and others) for the Alliance for Networking Visual Culture<http://scalar.usc.edu/updates/>'s software lab, author of Reconstructing Dixie: Race, Gender and Nostalgia in the Imagined South(Duke UP: 2003), co-editor of Hop on Pop: The Politics and Pleasures of Popular Culture(Duke UP: 2003), and editor of Digital Youth, Innovation and the Unexpected (MIT Press, 2008). She is also the Founding Editor of Vectors<http://www.vectorsjournal.org/>, a multimedia journal, and is an editor for the MacArthur-supported International Journal of Learning and Media (MIT Press). McPherson's new media research focuses on issues of computation, gender, and race, as well as upon the development of new tools and paradigms for digital publishing, learning, and authorship. At Georgia Tech, she'll present a talk entitled, "Theory in the Machine, or, A Feminist in a Software Lab." The abstract is as follows: How did a feminist film scholar trained in post-structuralist theory end up running a software lab? In answering that question, this talk engages various histories in the development of computational systems in order to argue that we need more humanities scholars to take seriously issues in the design and implementation of software systems. Humanities scholars are particularly well suited to help us think through such topics as the status of the archive as it mutates into the database, the possibilities for less hierarchical computing, and the cultural contexts of code. In short, this talk argues that neither theorizing media nor building new technologies is sufficient onto itself; we must necessarily do both. As a concrete example of the relationship of theory to practice, I will look at the work our USC team has undertaken over the last decade, including the digital journal, Vectors, and the new multimodal authoring platform, Scalar. Our research has always been in direct dialogue with key issues in the interpretative humanities, including discussions of race, gender, sexuality, social justice and power. Can such a dialogue come to shape the practice of software design? The event is sponsored by: School of Literature, Media, and Communication<http://lmc.gatech.edu/> Women, Science, and Technology Learning Community<http://www.wst.gatech.edu/lc.html> Office of Diversity Programs<http://www.diversityprograms.gatech.edu/> For more information, please contact Lauren Klein<mailto:lauren.klein@lmc.gatech.edu> or Vinicius Navarro<mailto:%22Navarro,%20Vinicius%20D%22%20%3Cvinicius.navarro@lmc.gatech.edu%3E>.

The day-long event will include interactive exhibitions and posters from local businesses, universities, and college students, and Dr. Tommy Thomas of Emory University will deliver a keynote address. We have already received positive responses from Kimberly Clark, Lockheed Martin, Emory, Morehouse School of Medicine, and others. We still have a few spaces left for student presenters and are in need of student volunteers to help with setup/breakdown and managing traffic flow. We would be very interested in including posters and demonstrations that incorporate computing in an interesting way to students. If you could forward the below message to the students who presented work at that event, and any other students you feel may be interested, we would greatly appreciate it. Also let us know if you have any interesting videos or mobile apps! If you would like to set up a time to meet to discuss this, please let me know your availability, and I would love to meet with you. Please visit http://stem.gtneuro.net/ to learn more and sign up!

Hi everybody! I hope that everybody's dead week is going well and that you are all ready (or getting ready) for exams next week. Tomorrow will be our last meeting of the semester, and as such will be our end of semester banquet. The banquet is going to work kind of like a potluck, so if you haven't already, please sign up on the google doc here if you are able to bring something to the banquet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ap76wVR9r_x0dFJjU0p0VFpCbEtMeF… . Also, we will be having a version of Secret Santa at the meeting, so if you can, please also bring a gift of a value between $5- $10. Hopefully we can make this meeting a really fun time before exams. Lastly, please, if you haven't already, do fill out the survey for the meeting time next semester. We are sorry that we have to give this survey now instead of during Phase II when you have a better idea of what your final schedule is going to be, but they are setting the times earlier, and we feel that you should all have the opportunity to choose a time. The survey is here: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/3WSF3KF . Please take the time to fill it out if you haven't already, and I look forward to seeing you all tomorrow! Kaitlin Powell

Hi everyone, I have one last request associated with the overnight event. We have several students flying in to Atlanta for the event, and usually Troy or myself would go and pick the students and their parents up at the airport. When planning, we didn't realize that our entire office would be at the Georgia Tech award luncheon on Thursday from 11:30-2. We are looking for 2-3 drivers who can make the following pick-ups: 11:30am (2 students) 12:30 (1 student and his father) 1:45 (2-3 students and parents - one flight lands at 1:30 and the second at 2:00) If you cannot drive but are willing to help out with this, we can also get people to meet them at the airport and bring them back via MARTA. If you drive, we will reimburse you for your mileage and parking at the airport. Please let me know if you are available ASAP.

[UWAB] Paid Tutoring Position
by Jennifer Whitlow 27 Feb '12

27 Feb '12

Hi everyone, We were recently contacted by a mother looking for a computing tutor for her 11 year old son. Please see the below information, and let me know if you are interested in tutoring. My Son Harrison is 11 years old and in 5th grade. He attends Brandon Hall Prep School. He is in classes with 6th and 7th grades students. We are looking for a computer tutor after school or on weekends. We are available on Monday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. On week days, my son gets home about 3:15, and on weekends we are flexible. We would like a tutor who could come to our home in Sandy Springs. We are willing to pay, although we are not sure what the going rate is for computer tutors. Perhaps you could help us with the amount. As far as subject goes, he would like to learn programming, how to design games, how to make an app for the I phone, and how to make a game server. He has looked into SWF, HTML, CSS, PHP, and ASP so far and would like to learn any additional languages that might help him design games. He has started programming on his own. He would read the tutorials on YouTube and then just do it. Jennifer Whitlow Program Coordinator for Enrollment College of Computing Phone: 404-385-2441

[UWAB] Co-Chair Results and Meeting Announcements
by Linda Huynh 02 Dec '11

02 Dec '11

Hello girls! First of all, thank you to everyone who attended the meeting yesterday. It was great winding down with good food, people, Charlie Brown, and listening to the election speeches from the co-chair candidates. On that note, this will be one of my last emails as a co-chair of Women@CC. It has been my honor and pleasure to represent this organization for the past year and a half, but I feel that due to my graduation next spring, it would be best for Women@CC if I stepped down to allow your new co-chairs to establish their own mark on the organization. I will still be around to help them and W@CC in any way that I can. So please join me in congratulating Alissa Hartenbaum and Kaitlin Powell, who will be your co-chairs for Spring 2012! As expected, there will be no meetings during dead week or finals week. I wish you all the best of luck during finals. And like I said, I'll still be around. :) Thanks, and have a great day! Sincerely, Linda

Hello girls, I would like to give a big thank you to everyone who helped out with The Great Pumpkin Festival, especially those of you who participated in set up and clean up. This event took a lot of time and planning, and it was wonderful to see it come to fruition. Despite the weather, it sounds like people had a good time. With about one hundred attendees at the event, every single person who helped out was needed, and we couldn't have done it without you all. Again, thank you to all who helped and attended.

[UWAB] Pumpkin Festival set-up
by Hartenbaum, Alissa J 02 Nov '11

02 Nov '11

Hey girls, To follow up Linda's email about the Fall Festival tomorrow, I would like to add a few notes about set-up. We need all the help we can get, as early as possible, to set up tables and games, place decorations, and prepare food and drinks. If you are looking for a more definite time, we would suggest coming to the CoC around 2:30 pm. Events like this take a long time to set up, and we will need all the time (and people) we can find. It would be terrible if our two hour event started late because set-up took too long. The event will go on, rain or shine, so I will see you all tomorrow! Alissa Hartenbaum

Hello everybody, this is Dannielle with some information about W@CC! Next week is the end of the semester potluck. Bring a dish: brownies, cookies, finger sandwiches, microwaveables, punch, dips, chips, and all of the above. It'll be on April 28th, 6 PM, during the meeting. Now let's learn about *t-shirts*: I'm taking orders on t-shirts until 4 pm tomorrow, Friday, April 21 I'm not going to lie: a lot of the delay is because I don't have the final design yet (please forgive me), so I can't update you guys with that yet. However, I can reattach the rough draft of the t-shirt design to this email. T-shirts will most likely be unisex navy blue with pink ink. If you're interested in ordering a t-shirt, *email me with your name and t-shirt size and PHYSICALLY ACTUALLY PAY ME twelve dollars before 4 pm*. I'll be in the Klaus atrium from 11 am - 1 pm, in Klaus 1456 from 1 pm - 3 pm, and on the third floor of the CoC from 3 pm to 4 pm. Basically, call me at 770 8339841, especially if you want to pay me before 11 am. Otherwise, W@CC wishes you guys to have a really restful, productive, and healthy dead week and finals week. Please take care of yourselves, know that you are beautiful and more valuable than your grades, and push yourself for the best grade you can earn. I hope to hear from you all soon, and I'm excited to see you guys at the last meeting, w@cc just as a confirmation and important note, anyone and everyone is allowed to order one, and sizes should be adjusted for assuming the shirts will be adult unisex.

[UWAB] CoCaesar's Outcome
by Linda Huynh 23 Mar '11

23 Mar '11

Hello girls! I hope that all of you are having a great spring break. I wanted to congratulate and thank those who helped out with CoCaesar's. Our sign up sheet said 202 people attended, but I know that many members, including me, were not able to sign the sheet. Even so, that is an amazing number! I have received so much positive feedback about the event from both students and faculty and, to summarize, you guys rock! We would not have been able to accomplish all that we did without our members helping out before, during, and after the event. I was really honored to work with all of you. I can't wait until next year! Sincerely, Linda

[UWAB] CoCaesar's is Tomorrow!
by Linda Huynh 16 Mar '11

16 Mar '11

Hello girls, I just wanted to remind you that CoCaesar's is tomorrow! I have a few notes for now until then: - Today, I will be picking up food with Cedric at Sam's Club and Restaurant Depot. If anyone has space to hold things in a fridge or freezer, please call or email me at 703.927.4560 or lhuynh(a)gatech.edu so I know who to contact when we get back. We will be leaving around 1:00 to 1:30 and be back in a few hours. - Please come help if you can! We need as many people as we can for setup, staffing, and breakdown. - We will be blowing balloons with helium or by hand (if we cannot get helium) starting at 1:30. Klaus will be open at 3:00 and that is when we will start migrating supplies and setting up. - Throughout the event, I would love it if people could help staff places like the food and prizes stations, along with helping to bring food back and forth from the kitchens. You should have signed up on the swiki http://swiki.cc.gatech.edu:8080/WUAB/171 but we will definitely take those who did not sign up. - After CoCaesar's, everyone remaining should stay behind to clean up. The more people we get, the faster clean up is and the faster everyone can get back to studying. That should be about it. Get excited and advertise, everyone! We've put a lot into planning this. I want everyone's hard work to be worth it with a great event and a fun time. :) If you have any last-minute questions, please do not hesitate to email me or Alissa. Sincerely, Linda -- Linda Huynh BS Computer Science 2012 Georgia Institute of Technology

[UWAB] Help advertise for CoCaesar's!
by Linda Huynh 09 Mar '11

09 Mar '11

Hey girls! I wanted to tell you that the professor invitations and flyers for CoCaesar's are now in W@CC's box across the room from CoC 351. If people could stop by and distribute the fliers throughout the College of Computing and Klaus (where they are allowed), that would be amazing. Additionally, if you signed up for a professor invitation, please come by and give it to a CS/CM professor of your choice. Remember that part of CoCaesar's is to give you a chance to talk to your professors outside of an academic context. We will be talking about further advertisements next meeting. In any case, please plan to attend and help out the day of CoCaesar's. We will need all of the help we can get to pull this off. Remember that it is next week. Be sure to tell all of your CS/CM friends to come and have some fun before spring break! We will have food, prizes, and lots of games for everyone. Please help in making CoCaesar's this year a success! If you have any questions, feel free to email me or Alissa ( ahartenbaum3(a)gatech.edu) Sincerely, Linda

[UWAB] Thoughts for CoCaesar's
by Linda Huynh 08 Feb '11

08 Feb '11

Hello girls, I was thinking about CoCaesar's and rememberd that a lot of you wanted to know what you could do before this week's meeting. I thought of the following: First of all, look at the swiki stations page<http://swiki.cc.gatech.edu:8080/WUAB/171>and sign up for one or more slots. We need as many girls as we can manning the stations for the *entirety *of the event. While the OEC might be hiring a company to run the gaming tables, it is our responsibility to take care of the social part of the event. One of the reasons we did not have a CoCaesar's last year was because some of our members did not take this responsibility seriously. You can obviously take breaks, but please remember that we are the organization hosting the event. We have other events to relax; this is one we have to work at to pull off. Second, once you sign up, think about the ways you would decorate your station with our theme (right now, it's "black, white, and red"). What colour is your tablecloth? What is the centerpiece? How are your chairs arranged? We can use everyone's ideas for how they want their station decorated to come up with a coherent theme across the entire event. Remember, the devil is in the details! Third, advertising. How can we advertise the event to get the maximum amount of people to show up? Kristin, our faculty advisor, recommended placing playing cards around the CoC Commons with hints about "an upcoming event." For those of you artistically inclined, start thinking about posters that we can print out to hang up around the Commons and anywhere else we can legally put them. We need submissions as soon as possible. Here are some other things to think about: What prizes are we going to raffle off? Guests will have the opportunity to trade in their coins for raffle tickets so we are going to need prize ideas. Large or small, we can determine what we can actually get at the next meeting. Kristin also mentioned that we could also use the event to spread word about the wonderful student organizations we have at the College. If you want to help, you all could find a "Did You Know?" about one of our student organizations. It'll help you guys learn about them and we can spread them around the Atrium for other people to see! I know this was long, but you all did ask. ;) If you have any thoughts, send an email to me (lhuynh(a)gatech.edu) or Alissa (ahartenbaum3(a)gatech.edu) See you all Thursday! Sincerely, Linda -- Linda Huynh BS Computer Science 2012 Georgia Institute of Technology
