SUMMARY:“Literary Studies, Data Science, and the Present-Future of Prejudice”
DESCRIPTION:\nLecture sponsored by the Digital Culture and Media Initiat
ive\, Department of English\n\nThis talk suggests how literary studies m
ight be viably described as a science of prejudice-correction\, and how
such a description might challenge the consensus in the humanities porti
on of the data sciences that it can discover discrimination and bias\, i
dentifying patterns scientifically and at scale. This discrepancy in tur
n might clarify the relationship between data and justice in globalized
modern liberal societies.\n\nSpeaker bio:\n\nNan Z. Da teaches literatur
e at Johns Hopkins University.\n\nFor more details: https://events.la.ps
