Arts and AI panel
reception to follow
Weds., Sept. 30 | 3:00-4:30PM | HW 714
RSVP

Prof. Ricardo Miranda will lead a conversation with four artists who are doing some of the most exciting and urgent work at the intersection of art and AI today. What happens to creativity when AI enters the room? Who gets to shape these technologies, and what do artists have to say about it? This panel will not offer easy solutions or answers. Instead, it will be an interactive, engaging conversation that takes these questions seriously, across all of the arts, which is what HUMANities x Tech is all about.

Hunter College students took their studies abroad this summer, traveling to London with Journalism Program Director Sissel McCarthy.

Students learned how to become more critical consumers of news while doing a deep dive into the U.K. news industry. 

As part of their team project, they visited six major news organizations, including the BBC, The Independent, PA Media and Sky News.

Each team researched the history and ownership of one news outlet and evaluated its stories for accuracy and partisan leaning. They then presented their findings to the class, putting their newly acquired news literacy skills into action.

The Center for Puerto Rican Studies (Centro) and the Aronson Awards for Social Justice Journalism in the Department of Film and Media Studies have launched the Blanca Vázquez Erazo Social Justice Scholarship Award ($1,500). It will be awarded to a Hunter College student who best exemplifies Blanca’s unwavering commitment to social justice, peace, and freedom.
