Colleagues, Happy New Year! This Spring we have an exciting Colloquium Series scheduled by the Center for Theory. The theme is the Digital Dialectic and all of these presentations explore the contradictions of digital culture. We are bringing two outside speakers to campus as part of the series and the other two speakers hail from UTA's own Dept. of English. Please let me know if you have any questions.
