<span style="background:white">Lai-Tze Fan will uncover how writing machines (typewriters, word processors, and computers) have been associated with women's invisible labour since the late 19th C and will briefly discuss how women have since used them as communication
tools to empower themselves through creative output, community building, and critical intervention.</span><br>
<br>
<b><span style="background:white">(Sound)Mapping Inequality </span></b><span style="background:white">(Dr. Jessica Thompson)</span><b><br>
</b><span style="background:white">Jessica Thompson will discuss how intersectional approaches to sound mapping can be used to generate critical dialogues around equality in cities, and how the creative use of mobile technologies can be used to engage and empower
the ears on the ground. Her project, Borderline, is a research-creation tool that enables users to automatically tag sounds in their environment, create generative soundscapes to animate urban geographies, and export data in an open, accessible format.</span><br>

<b><span style="background:white">Responsible Representation: Recognizing Paratextual Parallels and Dog-Whistles in 20th and 21st Century Racial Photographs
</span></b><span style="background:white">(Jin Sol Kim)</span><br>
<span style="background:white">Earlier this year, in January 2021, there was a debacle involving Vogue magazine and then-Vice-President-elect Kamala Harris in which the editorial team released a cover photo of VP Harris that</span>
<span style="background:white">had not been approved by her team. In this talk, I will provide a close reading of two different visual texts from the 20th and 21st centuries: three photos of significant Black leaders from the fifth Pan-African conference in
1945, published on a single page in Picture Post magazine, and the problematic Vogue photo of Kamala Harris from 2021. By reading these visual texts together, I will argue that when it comes to racial representation, mere media representation is not enough.
Rather, we must account for representation behind the scenes, for it is there that paratextual decisions and thus ideologies are challenged and made. </span></span><span lang="EN-CA"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:11.0pt"><a href="https://uwaterloo.ca/faculty-association/w3plus">W3+ (Waterloo Womxn + Nonbinary Wednesdays)</a> is a community of womxn and nonbinary grad students, post-docs, staff, and faculty that
meets on the last Wednesday of every month. </span><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The purpose of W3+ is to foster a social and support network among womxn and nonbinary members of the UW community. The group offers a safe space to discuss issues, provides
a place to present university research, and raises awareness about gender and sexuality at the university both as a workplace and as a place for intellectual engagement.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
