“Looking for grad programs, and Digital Humanities was the perfect mix of all my interests.”

Congratulations to our alumnus, Maria F. Buitrago, and all, on winning the Images of Research 2026! 🏆

Join us for a panel discussion on digital colonialism: the use of digital technology for political, economic, and social domination of another sovereign country or people. Science, technology, and infrastructure have always been crucial to colonial conquest, but today the United States controls a vast digital empire. Digital colonialism includes everything from transoceanic fiber-optic cables to cloud server farms, to social media platforms and AI-based surveillance services. Tue, Apr 21, 2026 6:00 PM–8:00 PM Skylight Room (9100), CUNY Graduate Center. Free and open to the public. Please register to attend.

Digital colonialism includes everything from social media platforms to AI surveillance services. This panel discussion will focus in particular on the role of digital technologies in so-called environmental conservation strategies like carbon offsetting.
