SUMMARY:Attentive or Absentminded: Habits of Mind in the Age of AI with Meghan O’Gieblyn
DESCRIPTION:Join the Center for 21st Century Studies and the AI and the Humanities Collaboratory for lecture by Meghan O’Gieblyn\, author of God Human Animal Machine and the essay collection Interior States\, which won the 2018 Believer Book Award. \nAt a moment when we are outsourcing many intellectual and creative tasks to machines\, it’s worth thinking about the point of thinking itself. Is it a means to an end\, or an end in itself? Are humans just “stochastic parrots\,” mindlessly producing language in a way that is not so different from AI\, as some tech luminaries contend\, or is there something more going on in our minds? \nWhile these questions may seem new\, they harken back to older debates about the relationship between thought and language\, freedom and necessity\, and the fine line that exists between attention and automaticity. Long before the advent of digital technologies\, two twentieth century philosophers\, Hannah Arendt and Simone Weil\, wrote about some of these questions through the lens of the technologies of their times. Their writing anticipates many of the challenges of the age of AI and calls attention to the more ordinary and insidious ways that consciousness becomes ossified by social convention\, as well as the moral and political risks that arise when we fail to “think what we are doing.” \nFree street parking available in neighborhoods near venue. Paid parking available at the Union Garage (Lot #22). \nRefreshments will be served at 3:30 p.m. Lecture begins at 4 p.m. This event is free and open to the public. \nPrior registration is requested for the purposes of estimating attendance. Please complete the form at https://uwm.edu/c21/event/meghan-ogieblyn/. No personal information will be collected. \n

SUMMARY:Espejo: Clean
DESCRIPTION:The lives of two women with vastly different life experiences intersect at a resort in Cancún. Adriana manages the housekeeping staff and a world away from the home she left.

A torrential downpour forces the women together\, and through a series of misunderstandings breaks open the secrets both women have taught themselves to ignore.

SUMMARY:The Beauty Queen of Leenane
DESCRIPTION:THE BEAUTY QUEEN OF LEENANE BY MARTIN MCDONAGH\nDirected by James Pickering\nFeaturing Flora Coker\, Jaimelyn Gray\, Matt Specht\, and Leo Madson March 29-April 12\, 2025 \nABOUT THE PLAY\nGet ready for a wickedly sharp\, darkly hilarious ride through the rugged mountains of Connemara\, County Galway. THE BEAUTY QUEEN OF LEENANE is a tale of family dysfunction at its finest—featuring Maureen Folan\, a lonely\, no-nonsense woman in her early forties\, and Mag\, her conniving\, overbearing mother who could give a masterclass in emotional sabotage. When Maureen dares to grasp at a chance for love\, Mag’s meddling sets off a chain reaction of twists\, turns\, and gut-punch surprises that barrel toward an unforgettable climax. Packed with biting humor and searing tension\, this McDonagh masterpiece won the 1998 Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Play—and trust us\, it’s earned every bit of that honor. \nCONTENT WARNING: This production contains adult subject matter.
