Research: GDPR: Deletion Poems chapbook launch party

One of the highlights of February was the launch party for our GDPR Deletion Poems chapbook. Rachel Douglas-Jones and Marisa Cohn explained our year-long engagement with the GDPR and recited their favourite deletion poems. New visitors and long-time friends of the lab joined in to make new deletion poems, view David Cohn's audiovisual art inspired by parts of the GDPR, and, of course, cut the Recital 4 cake. Out of 200 copies of the chapbook, many have already been given out to curious GDPR geeks. Stop by the lab in 3A30 to browse through our big format version.

We are joined by people from Software Development, Digital Innovation & Management, Digital Design, Global Development and Social Anthropology.

Laboratory Life: Lab TAs

This semester, the lab is joined by new Lab TAs who are coordinating and handling many of the teaching-related activities ETHOS supports and carries out. Please welcome Veronika Skotting, 4th semester GBI student, who will be coordinating our Python Study Group. Please also welcome long-time ETHOS community member Mace Ojala, who self-identifies as "lab furniture". Among other things, Mace will be working on maintaining our TCAT services and a classification system for the ETHOS Lab Library.

Teaching: Python Study Group

The Python Study Group is relaunching. Our new Lab TA Veronika Skotting will be coordinating the study group, joined by our Junior Researchers as volunteers. A week before start-up, we had 25 sign-ups. The study group will run for 8 weeks, not including Easter. Read more about the Python Study Group--and sign up if you are interested!--here.
