SUMMARY:The Case for Paratopian Design
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Summary \n\nWhat if we could make complex social and cultural q
 uestions playable?\nAnd what if we could do so through interactions with f
 amiliar digital\ninterfaces set in alternative presents and near futures? 
 The work I\nwill discuss sits at the intersection between the design tradi
 tions of\nspeculative and critical design on the one hand\, and the philos
 ophies\nand best practices of game design\, playful media and interaction\
 ndesign on the other.\n

SUMMARY:Student Speaker Series: Speech in Human-Agent Interaction with Nima
 \nZargham
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Summary \n\nDue to technological advancements\, communicating w
 ith computer systems\nusing natural language has become a casual phenomeno
 n. Speech-based\nsystems\, like Siri or Cortana\, have become widely popul
 ar among people\ndue to their convenience. Speech interaction encompasses 
 a social\ncomponent as it reflects the fundamental human capacity for\ncom
 munication and enables interpersonal engagement through verbal\nexchange. 
 This makes human-agent interaction an essential topic of\nresearch in the 
 field of human-computer interaction.\n
