[Adi Kuntsman]

**Digital Politics Summer School: Digital Technologies and the Environment** 

 
What are the environmental impacts of and conditions for digital technologies or digitization practices more generally? What constitutes the relation between digital technologies and the environment? Whether and how is the relation maintained, disrupted, repaired and reconfigured? What are its temporalities? What are the ethical and political implications of reconsidering the relation between digital technologies and the environment? And what are the methodological and epistemological challenges of doing so?  
 

 
The School will explore the relations between digital technologies and environmental concerns, covering topics of digital waste, digital toxicity, e-waste, communication infrastructures, and smart cities, in a series of on-line Masterclasses with Alenda Chang, Nanna Bonde Thylstrup , Rahul Mukherjee, Liu Xin and Adi Kuntsman. Registered participants will also be invited to attend a pre-School keynote by Benedetta Brevini, the author of “Is AI Good for the Planet”, on June the 10th. Please check the link below for further details and registration. Masterclasses are kept intentionally small, early registration is recommended.
