We are excited to announce spring events sponsored by the Wright Center for the Study of Computation and Just Communities: A Seminar in "Data Justice" - a series of presentations surveying a range of contexts in which data (of various different kinds) have been and continue to be brought to bear on issues of justice.
"It is exciting to see that the Neukom playwriting prize has tapped into an extraordinarily vibrant community of artists who are using their creative energies to explore one of the central issues of our day – the effect of technology and computation on the human condition," said Dan Rockmore.
"I am delighted to be able to announce next year's class of Neukom Postdoctoral Fellows," states Dan Rockmore. "Their interests range across the intersection of comparative literature and computation, neurobiology, mathematical social science, and climate and topography."

Set in a time not far down the road, Drive explores our collective fears for the future, and what happens when individuals who are fiercely defined by their work are forced to reevaluate what drives them.
In a "New Yorker" column, Dan Rockmore, Director of the Neukom Institute writes about three renowned mathematicians whom he knew and admired. "On their journeys, these playful, curious mathematicians discovered Monsters and numbers so large that they can hardly be written down.... They will be missed," he says.
"The places where forced migrant deaths are occurring are not exactly making it into the news," explained co-author Danielle Poole, a Neukom fellow in the department of geography at Dartmouth.
A $15 million gift honors Susan and Jim Wright, Dartmouth's 16th president.
