Speaker Biography:听Ceyda Yolg枚rmez is a Horizon Postdoctoral Fellow at the Indigenous Futures Research Center at Concordia University, working in the Abundant Intelligences Research Program. Her PhD work proposes the outlines of a sociology of machines for reimagining human-machine relations. Her research looks at playful and creative engagements with machines as a site to explore and experiment with human machine socialities, and is interested in methodologies that reveal and trouble the common-sensical way in which we understand such relations. Her work at the postdoctoral level focuses on the epistemological questions of multidisciplinary collaborations, and possibilities of transdisciplinarity in the context of machine learning research. Particularly, she works to understand how Indigenous Knowledge systems could transform Artificial Intelligences.听
