Columbia University, Interdisciplinary Center for Innovative Theory and Empirics

A project of Columbia University’s Interdisciplinary Center for Innovative Theory and Empirics, Logic(s) magazine produces nuanced long-form reflection on technology, and seeks to draw in voices and perspectives that remain outside, under-explored, and yet essential to thinking about technology in the changing present. The award supports Calling the Conjurers, a symposium focused on technologies of Black life and study being held in Toronto May 23rd – 26th, 2024. The symposium includes a mix of roundtable talks, public performances and an art exhibition, networking gatherings, and creative workshops.

Columbia University’s Interdisciplinary Center for Innovative Theory and Empirics (INCITE) creates knowledge for public action. It does so by generating innovative knowledge and including novel conversations among those inside and outside academia that, taken together, lead to actions that produce more just, equitable, and democratic societies. The award supports Logic(s) magazine, a project of INCITE, which produces nuanced long-form reflection on technology, and seeks to draw in voices and perspectives that remain outside, underexplored, and yet essential to thinking about technology in the changing present. Logic(s) publishes three times annually in a mix of mediums and creative styles, including reported articles, features, poetry, speculative sci-fi, and more. In addition to publishing the magazine, Logic(s) will offer other programming such as sessions on how to pitch and develop stories for the magazine and other publications, and host workshops focused on specific creative mediums or genres of writing.
