Subject: CHID focus group: The Uncanny in Film, Fiction, and Technology

Hello,

I’m co-facilitating a focus group (CHID 496 L) in the spring about the Uncanny in film, fiction, and technology. The study of robotics, both the treatments of it in science fiction as well as real technologies being engineered today, play a large part in the discussion of the uncanny. I thought that this might perhaps be of interest to some CSE students! We’ll be meeting Fridays from 1:30-3:20. Info flier is attached.

Could you please forward this info along to your students?

Thanks,
Lisa
