Something (techno)creepy this way comes. Join us on Wednesday October 8 at 4 PM EST to celebrate the release of Neda Atanasoski and Nassim Parvin's new co-edited volume Technocreep and the Politics of Things Unseen, a unique feminist study of contemporary technology.

This book includes six original essays by Atanasoski and Parvin alongside 11 essays by academic contributors and five original artworks. The book grapples with why we so often understand human-technological relationships as “creepy” and considers how feminists can respond in new ways. Drs Atanasoski and Parvin will share their vision of the book at the event and will be joined in conversation with Professors Erin McElroy (Geography, University of Washington), Sheena Erete (UMD INFO), and Alexis Lothian (UMD WGSS). We will also provide cake!
