DESCRIPTION:Dr. Miller  will explore various storytelling methods in archae
 ology\, as \nsituated within a community-based project in Old Harbor\, Ala
 ska\, a Sugpiaq \nvillage in the Kodiak Archipelago. Different methods of 
 storytelling have a \nplace in the practice of archaeology\, from the init
 ial formation of a \nresearch question to the sharing of results with comm
 unity members and \nheritage professionals. Within this community-based re
 search project\, it is \ncrucial that the results and interpretations are 
 legible to the Old Harbor \ncommunity. Here\, I review existing informatio
 n from historical accounts and \narchaeology to construct story models tha
 t generate predictions for new \narchaeological research into the Russian 
 colonial period at the Ing’yuq \nVillage site. I then braid these story mo
 dels together with an imagined \nnarrative by Allison Pestrikoff about the
  Sugpiaq experience of initial \nRussian arrival in their homelands and ar
 tistic interpretations of the \nIng’yuq site by Tamara Swenson. Taken toge
 ther\, these different \nstorytelling strategies create a more nuanced pic
 ture of Sugpiaq lifeways at \nIng’yuq – a picture that includes the histor
 ical\, emotional\, and \nexperiential context of relations to this specifi
 c place on the land. I will \nconclude by discussing how storytelling is a
 n important factor in imagining \nSugpiaq futures in Old Harbor.\n\n \n\nD
 r. Miller is an assistant professor in the Sociology/Anthropology Departme
 nt \nat the State University of New York\, Cortland\, who specializes in a
 rcheology. \nShe received her B.A. degree from Lafayette College where she
  double-majored \nin Geology and Environmental Geosciences and Anthropolog
 y and Sociology.\n\nThis presentation is part of the series /Woven Togethe

 ronmental Challenges./ [1]\n\n\n[1] https://hanson.lafayette.edu/woven-tog

DESCRIPTION:Join THE ARTS AT LAFAYETTE for the Arts\, Technology\, and Demo
 cracy Spring \n2026 Forum with Mashinka Firunts Hakopian. \n/**Data Femini
 sms and Algorithmic Coloniality*\n*/\n\nCountering dominant imaginaries of
  artificial intelligence\, this talk attends \nto ancestral intelligences:
  situated\, embodied ways of knowing that are \ntransmitted across diaspor
 ic time-spaces\, or surfaced from the lacunae of \nomissive datasets and a
 rchives of dispossession. These ways of knowing \nchallenge the disembodie
 d\, technoscientific “view from nowhere.” They \nrefuse the algorithmic er
 asure of non-Western knowledge systems and visual \ncultures. They ask us 
 to consider: Whose cognitive perspectives and modes of \nmeaning-making do
  sociotechnical systems inherit? Which histories are \npresented as techno
 logical futures\, and whose ways of knowing and sensing \nvanish from thes
 e tableaus of futurity? Turning to face occluded pasts\, an \nattunement t
 o ancestrality works to conjure pluriversal outcomes.\n\n \n\nMashinka Fir
 unts Hakopia is an Armenian writer\, artist\, and researcher. \nHakopian i
 s an Associate Professor in Technology and Social Justice at \nArtCenter C
 ollege of Design and a 2024-25 Visiting Fellow at Cambridge Visual \nCultu
 re. She holds a PhD in the History of Art from the University of \nPennsyl
 vania. Her book\, The Institute for Other Intelligences\, was released \nb
 y X Artists' Books in December 2022\, edited by Ana Iwataki and Anuradha 
 \nVikram. Her current book project\, Ancestral Intelligences\, attends to 
 the \nalgorithmic erasure of non-Western knowledge systems\, languages\, a
 nd visual \ncultures\, arguing for ancestrality as a method for rerouting 
 sociotechnical \nsystems toward pluriversal outcomes. Hakopian was a 2021 
 visiting Mellon \nProfessor in the Practice at Occidental College\, where 
 she co-curated the \nexhibition 'Encoding Futures: Critical Imaginaries of
  AI' with Meldia \nYesayan at OXY ARTS. An expanded version of the exhibit
 ion was staged at the \nFord Foundation Gallery in 2023 under the title 'W
 hat Models Make Worlds.' \n\n \n\nShe is the guest editor of the spring 20
 23 special issue of ART PAPERS on \nartificial intelligence\, co-edited wi
 th Sarah Higgins. She serves as a \nContributing Editor for ART PAPERS\, a
 n Advisory Board Member for \nthe International Armenian Literary Alliance
  and Azad Archives\, and was a \nContributing Editor for the Los Angeles R
 eview of Books from 2020-21. Her \nwriting and commentary have appeared in
