Penn EventsFilm Screening of "Ainu: Pathways to Memory" + Introduction and Q&A with Director Thursday, June 1, 2023 5:00pm Fisher-Bennett 401 Film representations of the Ainu people have existed since the inception of cinema which is the result of the Euro American fascination for Ainu images since the second-half of the 19th century. However, visual representations have not remained stable over time. Outsiders initially created through photography and cinema certain codes of representation depicting the Ainu “other” primitives. These images projected ahistorical views of the Ainu, concealing issues of discrimination and social stigmatization as well as their adaptation to modern life and assimilation to the Japanese culture. While this pattern projecting a romanticized image of the Ainu community, disconnected from their social reality, has pervaded film representations for decades, it started to be challenged in ethnographic documentaries particularly since the 1970s. In a context of revitalization of Ainu culture, the full-length documentary Ainu. Pathways to Memory (Marcos Centeno, 2014) revolves around contemporary concerns on preservation and dissemination of Ainu culture today. The discussion will pose questions regarding the validity of documentary films as ethnographic and social documents. Leveraging Distributed Intelligence Wednesday, May 31, 2023 - 12:00pm to 1:00pm ET Virtual Event (Zoom Webinar) "The mind" rarely works alone. Distributed intelligence refers to the perspective that intelligence is not best depicted as a trait of individual minds but as distributed across the people, material and digital tools available in socio-technical systems. Once we closely inspect it, we find intelligence to be an achievement that comes to life in human activities, accomplished rather than possessed. Join us for a free webinar with 2022 McGraw Prize winner in Learning Science Research Dr. Roy Pea (David Jacks Professor of Education & Learning Sciences at Stanford University), a pioneer in the field, whose work has been instrumental in pulling back the curtain on how and why people learn. In this discussion moderated by Dr. Yasmin B. Kafai, Lori and Michael Milken President’s Distinguished Professor at Penn GSE, Pea will examine the implications of distributed intelligence for the design of educational systems, learning technologies, and the conduct of everyday life.
