| HACKERS' ROUNDTABLE: A Conversation on Computing, Security, and Culture
|
129 DeBartolo Hall | 4:00pm
|
This roundtable will bring together, for the first time, three prominent computer hackers in conversation with one of academia's leading voices in the burgeoning field of hacker studies. The roundtable participants have invented seminal attack and defense strategies in network security, helped establish and criticize the modern computer security industry, and, in one prominent case, have had to endure federal prison time over a questionable conviction. The participants include:
|
-
Gabriella Coleman (Professor of Anthropology, Harvard University), Moderator
- Rocky Witt (Senior Security Engineer, Cryptocurrency Industry)
-
Stephen Watt (Software Engineer, DomainTools)
- Mike Schiffman (Lead of Network Security Engineering, Google)

| New One-Credit Course on Computation and Creativity!
|
Sept. 25th-Dec. 4th, 2023
|
This 10-week, 1-credit introduction to literary studies and computing is organized around the design, programming, construction and implementation of a poetry robot.
Taking inspiration from what is likely the first work of digital literature, Christopher Strachey's love letter algorithm for the Manchester Mark 1 computer in 1952, students in this course will explore the relationship between literary expression, romantic desire, and computational procedures while gaining first-hand experience in algorithmic design and robotic construction. The course's collaborative framework means that all students are warmly encouraged to enroll, including those with no prior experience in either poetry or computer programming. Poetry bot designs will be showcased at the end of the semester and in select campus locations during the Spring 2024 semester.
