Page Unbound: Black Living and Other Computational Poetics

Join Dr. Marisa Parham, Professor of English and Digital Studies at the University of Maryland, for a thought-provoking discussion exploring Black knowing as a temporal experience. By delving into select works by James Baldwin, Toni Morrison, and Harryette Mullen, this talk examines the intricate interplay between human understanding, computation, and our evolving relationships with machines. Dr. Parham invites us to reflect on what must always—and yet can never—be artificial about these connections.

This event is part of the the Center for the Humanities and the Public Sphere’s 2024-2025 Speaker Series, Page Unbound: Humanities in the Digital Age. Free food and refreshments included!
