Acerca de Stuff is Contingent With Andy and Matt

Stuff is Contingent with Andy and Matt is a podcast about media, culture, and the forgotten pasts and possible futures of both. Your Hosts, Andy Famiglietti (Digital Rhetoric/Digital Humanities, West Chester University of Pennsylvania) and Matt Brown (Philosophy/Center for Dewey Studies, Southern Illinois University Carbondale) will take you on a tour of recent publications about AI, Education, Social Media and more exploring how each of these things is shaped by a deeply contingent past and points towards an uncertain future.
