Academic Automation, Machine Un/Learning and Artificial 
Non/Intelligences, CFP: Academic Automation, Machine Un/Learning and 
Artificial Non/Intelligences (uta.edu)

Over the last 70 years, computational and networked media have become 
deeply integrated with higher education and have slowly adopted and 
integrated various technologies. The newest generation of technologies 
engaging higher education centers around what is popularly called 
artificial intelligence, otherwise known as machine learning. Machine 
learning creates models that self-design solutions that may include 
interaction, prediction, and other simulatable aspects. In other words, 
it is an attempt to automate certain processes. This special issue 
invites papers that engage with technological automation, machine 
un/learning, and artificial non/intelligence in the academic context. It 
seeks critical papers that examine questions around automatic grading, 
artificial teaching assistants, robotic instructors, other educational 
technologies, and the transformation of the student and professor roles 
concerning these technologies.

This call for papers also seeks papers that engage these technologies in 
other academic roles, such as research or service. How are these 
technologies mediating different academic functions? Who benefits from 
these technologies? And who is privileged by them? How will these 
technologies change undergraduate education or graduate education?
It asks authors to consider the roles of craft, artistry, and humanity 
in those roles. Is there an argument to be made for automation in the 
academy? Is there an argument to be made for AI/Machine learning in the 
academy? What kind of relations do these establish? Following Ivan 
Illich, should we rethink our relations to develop tools and systems 
that treat us as human, perhaps even more human than our current system? 
Following Virilio, what will be their accident?
Papers should be 3000-8000 words, following the Fastcapitalism author 
guidelines:
