Autumn Public Lecture Series: AI - The Age of Disruption

From fake news to robot co-workers, artificial intelligence is no longer on the horizon, it’s here, and it’s already changing how we live, work, and relate to each other.

This autumn, Trinity's School of Social Sciences and Philosophy will explore what this disruption means for society, democracy, and the future of human life. Across four thought-provoking evenings, we ask where AI is taking us- and whether we’re ready. The series kicks off on Thursday, September 25 to coincide with European Researchers' Night. Find more details about all the talks along including how to register at this link.

Class Acts: Languages, Accents, Identities and Attitudes

Every time we open our mouths, we are expressing our identities. Whether this takes the form of applying for a job, looking for an apartment or going through our school lives , we are often faced by those in power who want to erase our voices from privileged spaces. This talk will bring together linguistic studies for a non-specialist audience that come together under the banner of accentism. We will conclude with a discussion about what we can do about it as academics, administrators and/or concerned citizens.
