Data Refineries: How data centres make the politics of AI visible

The Faculty of Arts invites you to attend the 2026 Stapleford Lecture with guest lecturer Dr. Mél Hogan, Film and Media Professor at Queen's University.

This is a talk about the growing resistance to AI data centre proposals in Canada: how data centres became such a hot topic and what it means to push back against them. Canadians are largely opposed to data centres being built (anywhere, but especially in their communities), while many politicians of various stripes are trying to sell the public on AI’s inevitability – and local data centres as a way to ensure ‘data sovereignty’ in times of more obvious and overt big tech fascism. This talk puts forward an idea of resistance through conceiving of AI data centres as ‘data refineries’ to more fully understand them as the processing plants they are, converting our (personal, collective) data into products of value for big tech companies.

📣 The Knowledge Crisis: How did we get here and what can we do?
Join us at the 2026 Woodrow Lloyd Lecture for Tim Caulfield’s talk on the effects of misinformation and how we can effectively move forward
Our information environment is increasingly chaotic and filled with misleading, harmful, and exploitive contents. This reality is a defining characteristic of our time. And research tells us it is doing tangible harm – to public health, mental health, public discourse, personal relationships, policy development, and public trust. How did we get here, why do people believe, and what can we do about it? In this provocative presentation Professor Caulfield will explore what the most recent evidence tells us about the nature and source of the current infodemic. He will also provide science-informed recommendations to cut through the noise and forge a constructive path forward. This is a crisis. Time to step up!
