Lecture | Migrant Dubai: South Asian Lives in an Arab Global City


The Gulf emirate of Dubai is highly dependent on migrant labor, with 85 percent of its population non-citizen foreigners. The overwhelming majority are men from South India who labor in low-waged jobs in the booming construction and hospitality industries. They are integral to Dubai’s recent efforts to become a ‘global city’, but are simultaneously excluded from its economic successes. Speaker Laavanya Kathiravelu is a Fung Global Fellow at Princeton University and Assistant Professor at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. Her research centers on contemporary migrations, especially in the “Global South” and processes of everyday urban diversity.

Lecture | Visualizing Instagram Data: Selfies, Cities and Protests


How can we explore patterns in massive amounts of visual, user-generated content such as the billions of images and video on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter?

Dr. Lev Manovich, the speaker, is the author and editor of eight books including Data Drift (RIXC, 2015), Software Takes Command, (Bloomsbury Academic, 2013), Soft Cinema: Navigating the Database (The MIT Press, 2005), and The Language of New Media (The MIT Press, 2001) which was described as "the most suggestive and broad ranging media history since Marshall McLuhan."
