Summary: This meeting blends a Methods and Critical Issues Training with a Community Research Seminar. We invite three original scholars to share their perspectives on the intersections between critical theory and quantification, a nexus that the HoAI community returns to often in relation to historical foci. Attention here tempts reflection on how social policy and technical protocols entangle to rehearse certain visions of humanness and of the body, visions that reflexively encode notions of power, inclusion, peace, or inequality, often at the expense of alternative futures. What these speakers have in common is a committed interest in the articulation and practice of alternative visions, such as modes of knowledge production that preserve collective agency and critique disingenuous rhetoric.
