Planned Obsolescence: Publishing, Technology, and the Future of the Academy by Kathleen Fitzpatrick

Kathleen Fitzpatrick is Professor of Media Studies at Pomona College; she is spending this year as a Visiting Scholar in the Department of Media, Culture, and Communication and as an honorary fellow of the Humanities Initiative at NYU. She is author of Planned Obsolescence:  Publishing, Technology, and the Future of the Academy, forthcoming from NYU Press and is a founding editor of MediaCommons.

The New Everyday is a "middle-state" on-line publishing project hosted by Media Commons, edited by Nicholas Mirzoeff, devoted to a transdisciplinary exploration of the radically changed condition known as "the everyday."

The Digital Humanities Working Research Group, part of the Humanities Initiative, is led by Diana Taylor (Performance Studies) and Michael Stoller (Division of Libraries), and brings together a broad range of humanists and technologists from across NYU to discuss the role and implication of digital technology.

Co-organized by Media Commons/The New Everyday, The Humanities Initiative & The Digital Humanities Working Research Group,  New York University Press, New York University Libraries, & The Hemispheric Institute of Performance and Politics
