This colloquium addresses the productive capacities of illness, disability, death, and dying, asking how individuals use online platforms or other forms of new technology to both reproduce and contest popular discourses surrounding these everyday phenomena. *Participants: * Tom Boellstorff (Anthropology, UC-Irvine) Whitney Erin Boesel (Berkman Center for Internet & Society and MIT Center for Civic Media) Marisa Brandt (Communication and Science Studies, UC-San Diego) Jed Brubaker (Informatics, UC-Irvine) Faye Ginsburg (Anthropology, NYU) Danya Glabau (Science and Technology Studies, Cornell) Melissa Gregg (Principal Engineer, Intel) Tamara Kneese (Media, Culture, and Communication, NYU) Beza Merid (Media, Culture, and Communication, NYU) Jonathan Metzl (Sociology and Medicine, Health, and Society, Vanderbilt) Erica Robles-Anderson (Media, Culture, and Communication, NYU) Rayna Rapp (Anthropology, NYU) David Serlin (Communication and Science Studies, UC-San Diego Hosted by the Department of Media, Culture, and Communication and the Intel Science & Technology Center for Social Computing -- Tamara Kneese Doctoral Candidate Department of Media, Culture, and Communication New York University Intel Science & Technology Center for Social Computing tek234@nyu.edu or kneeset@gmail.com
