On 19 May, Caroline Hervé presented her research during a seminar titled Everyday Colonialism: Inuit Lives and the Ordinary Work of the State in Nunavik (Canadian Arctic). The seminar was co-organised by Várdduo - Centre for Sámi Research, Humlab and the Department of Language Studies, all of which are part of the Faculty of Arts and Humanities.

– I hope that these exchanges, both formal and informal, will encourage intellectual dialogue and facilitate long-term scholarly connections between Université Laval, Várdduo, and Umeå University.

Evelina Liliequist och Maria Podkorytova presenterade InfraVis vid SciLifeLabs infrastrukturdag vid Umeå universitet igår, den 11 maj 👏

Evenemanget samlade forskare från hela Umeås life science-miljö för att utforska möjligheter inom forskningsinfrastruktur, dela expertis och stärka tvärvetenskapliga kontakter. Programmet innehöll presentationer från både nationella och lokala infrastrukturer, samt diskussioner om datahantering och teknikutveckling. Posterpresentationer och nätverkssessioner bidrog ytterligare till dialog och samarbete i syfte att främja life science-forskningen i Sverige.

– Vi är glada över att kunna bidra genom att presentera InfraVis och lyfta fram vårt stöd inom vetenskaplig visualisering, säger Evelina.

Today, we had the honor of listening to a Talk by Laurens Naudts from AI, Media & Democracy Lab and Institute for Information Law, University of Amsterdam.

Drawing on critical theory and glitch feminism, he spoke about how invisibilities can be used to strategically counteract structural inequalities within the AI value chain. At the same time, he also examined how a politics that foregrounds visibility and legibility may undermine such resistance strategies.

The context of his Talk evoked thoughts and acted as a reminder to approach topics of social inequality mindfully and respectfully. There were a lot of questions and suggestions – from participants both on-site and online. This created an inviting forum where people could connect about the topic in question.

Thank you to all of the participants, and to Laurens for joining us today!
