<div dir="ltr">Greetings! <div>I'm an Associate Professor in the Department of Media Studies at Pomona College. I write about surveillance, privacy, and popular culture -- ranging across topics from reality TV to predictive policing. </div><div>These days, I'm exploring the logic of drones (automated, remote sensing, sense-making, and response; distributive, networked ubiquitous probes) and what I think of as "drone theory." A recent talk on these themes is available here: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6o_KTqdM44E">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6o_KTqdM44E</a> (courtesy of ANU). </div><div><br></div><div>I recently joined the NSF-funded Council for Big Data, Ethics, and Society: <a href="http://www.datasociety.net/initiatives/council-for-big-data-ethics-and-society/">http://www.datasociety.net/initiatives/council-for-big-data-ethics-and-society/</a></div><div><br></div><div>I spent a significant part of my time in Australia studying public attitudes toward the collection and use of personal data, and this is the work that I'll be discussing at the conference, focusing on the disconnect between public and industry understandings of data collection and processing. </div><div><br></div><div>Looking forward to seeing you in NYC!</div><div>thanks,<br>Mark</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Oct 1, 2014 at 12:22 PM, Miya Tokumitsu <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:tokumitsumiya@gmail.com" target="_blank">tokumitsumiya@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Greetings Everyone,<div><br></div><div>My name is Miya Tokumitsu. I earned my PhD in art history from the University of Pennsylvania in 2012. While my primary field of research is Renaissance and Baroque art in Europe, I've also developed a secondary interest in labor culture, particularly the aesthetics of labor in the popular media/imagination. To that end, I wrote "In the Name of Love," for <i>Jacobin, </i>which takes a skeptical view of that ubiquitous chestnut, "do what you love." I've also recently joined <i>Jacobin </i>as a contributing editor.</div><div><br></div><div>At the conference, I'll be speaking about how aspirational labor and affective labor play out in the digital realm. I'm especially interested in how brands and cultural institutions use social media--not only to advertise their products and events but also to present specific images of work at these institutions.</div><div><br></div><div>I look forward to meeting many of you in New York next month.</div><div><br></div><div>Best wishes,</div><div>Miya</div></div>
