Alicia is a part-time PhD student in Cultural Studies as well as an Engineering & Science Librarian at Queen\u2019s. Her PhD research interests focus on the intersection of artificial intelligence, privacy, ethics, and data. She has a Master of Arts in Digital Humanities and a Master of Library and Information Studies, both from the University of Alberta. As a Crazy Cat Lady, Alicia was able to incorporate her love for cats in her Master\u2019s thesis titled, The Community-based (Virtual) Human-Animal Bond: An Exploration of the TinyKittens Online Community<\/a><\/em>. She is not above trying to incorporate cats into her PhD dissertation somehow. =^..^=<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mason Choi is an MA student in Cultural Studies. His research interests look at technological body horror and machinic failure as a vehicle for the formation of kinship with objects. He intends to apply these ideas to explore how one might foster alternative relations to technology that have the potential to counter dominant hierarchies.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Poet in Residence<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sofie\u2019s research is firmly rooted in both feminist philosophy and transgender studies. These twin schools of thought inform her work in ways that are both explicit and implicit. Her current project brings together philosophy of artificial intelligence, philosophy of creativity, and contemporary poetics to explore the relationship between art\u2014broadly conceived\u2014and Artificial Intelligence. Her research questions include: What are the poetics of AI-generated art? Is AI-generated art creative? Who should we consider to be the author of AI-generated art?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently Sofie is working on an article that posits trans poetics as a way of doing trans philosophy, a co-authored piece exploring how we might epistemically ground diversity projects in AI, and several creative works, including a collaborative arts project exploring queer\/mad\/trans\/femme futures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
