AI Revolution: From Machines to Morals
Conference/Seminar
How do we act ethically in the age of Artificial Intelligence? With the revolution of machine learning comes the struggle to use it morally for the common good.

Research Lecture with Andrea Baldwin
Lecture/Readings
In her 2022 book, A Decolonial Black Feminist Theory of Reading and Shade: Feeling the University, Andrea Baldwin uses Black and decolonial feminist theorizing along with a queer of color critique to examine the university as an affective space. This space often causes marginalized and minoritized individuals to feel out of place and out of time. Baldwin developed the concept of “Shad(e)y theoretics” to encapsulate this idea.In this presentation, Baldwin builds on her theorizing to offer insights into the current moment in US politics. She explores the seemingly easy cooptation and, in some cases, cooperation of university administration in erasing marginalized and minoritized communities and their scholarship. While this erasure is not unexpected from a decolonial perspective, it remains deeply painful. Using indigenous feminist and Black feminist ecological thought, Baldwin provides thoughts on how to navigate the current epistemic and affective violence experienced by Black, brown, indigenous, and queer scholars in the US academy.
Tanner Talks Series: From Books to Biscuits
Panel Discussion/Presentation | Tanner Talks
The College of Humanities and Social Sciences and the Merrill-Cazier Library are continuing the Tanner Talks Series! Come and watch Ella Hawkins create biscuits which resemble rare books from our very own Special Collections. Hawkins is a Senior Lecturer at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, and the author of Shakespeare in Elizabethan Costume: 'Period Dress' in Twenty-First Century Performance.
From Books to Biscuits
Lecture/Readings
How does a rare, historic book become a piece of 21st-century edible art? Join Ella Hawkins as she creates a new biscuit (cookie) design based on an early printed book from USU’s special collections. As well as demonstrating this design process, Ella will look back at her past biscuit sets and discuss the unique qualities of printed texts from different periods.
Contemporary Legends in a Polarized World (Derek Agard Distinguished Lecture)
Lecture/Readings
In a country where trust is at an all-time low and polarization at an all-time high, is everything a legend? Using examples of contemporary or “urban” legends from across the US, Tom Mould, Professor of Anthropology and Folklore (Butler University), explores new approaches to legend research that help us navigate our current landscape of fake news, conspiracy theories, and echo chambers. In the process, Professor Mould upends some long held beliefs about what contemporary legends are, what they do, and what they can tell us about ourselves and the polarized world we live in.
