  • UC Santa Cruz 1156 High Street Santa Cruz, CA, 95064 United States (map)

The UC Speculative Futures Collective presents a symposium featuring emergent approaches to labor in light of the surge of interest in technological socioeconomic transformations (including robotics, AI, and app-based on-demand services). Participants include Curtis Morez, Jennifer Rhee, Xiao Lui, Erin McElroy, Heather Berg, Julietta Hua, and Kasturi Ray, with responses from Felicity Amaya Schaeffer, Savannah Shange, Neel Ahuja, Nick Mitchell, and Carla Frecerro.

This symposium is part of the UC Speculative Futures Collective (UCSD, UCR, UCI, and UCSC) that over two years will feature events bringing together scholars and others in the field of Speculative Futures to envision more sustainable worlds and futures.

Co-sponsored by the Baskin Foundation Presidential Chair in Feminist Studies, the Center for Racial Justice, the Humanities Institute, and the Speculatively Scientific Fictions of the Future.
