In this episode of "Technically Human," I bring you a conversation with one of the great thinkers working at the intersection of ethics and technology, Professor Todd Presner, for an episode about his new book, Ethics of the Algorithm: Digital Humanities and Holocaust Memory. In the conversation, we talk about new direction in Holocaust memory and scholarship, how technologies are enabling new approaches, questions, and interpretations of major historical events, and how digital technologies might help us imagine a new ethics of interpretation of history and memory.  Dr. Todd Presner is Chair of UCLA's Department of European Languages and Transcultural Studies. Previously, he was the chair of UCLA's Digital Humanities Program (2011-21), and from 2011-2018, he served as the Sady and Ludwig Kahn Director of the Alan D. Leve Center for Jewish Studies. He holds the Michael and Irene Ross Chair in the UCLA Division of the Humanities. His research focuses on European intellectual and cultural history, Holocaust studies, visual culture, and digital humanities. Dr. Presner's newest book was published with Princeton University Press: Ethics of the Algorithm: Digital Humanities and Holocaust Memory  (Fall 2024). 

Dr. Than Neville is talking with us about the benefits of granting end of life wishes through the 3 Wishes Program at UCLA Health. Dr. Neville joined the faculty in the UCLA Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care in 2012 and is both a clinician and a researcher. In 2017, she co-founded the 3 Wishes Program and is currently its Medical Director. According to the UCLA Health website, clinical staff works with the patient and family, finding favorite memories or special qualities about the patient to celebrate the unique life of the patient.  These memories and qualities are turned into special legacy keepsakes or events.  While creating these special memories for families and patients, the 3 Wishes Program team at UCLA health finds comfort and meaning for themselves.  The staff is reminded why they work with seriously ill patients and feel their work is elevated by granting these end of life wishes.  If you're interested in learning more about the UCLA Health 3 Wishes Program, click here.  Communicate with Dr. Than Neville, director of the UCLA health 3 Wishes Program by clicking here.

Howie Pyro has shuffled loose the mortal coil. He was a musician from Queens, NY, known for playing bass in bands like The Blessed, D Generation, Danzig, and Freaks. He was also a DJ and hosted a radio show called Intoxica Radio. He was also a passionate collector of all sorts of counter culture, underground, campy things and loved by anyone and everyone who knew him. My deepest sympathies for his friends and family as we take a look at a life that can only be compared to a punk version of Forrest Gump. In honor of Howie Pyro, please consider donating to the UCLA Division of Liver and Pancreas Transplantation. https://giving.ucla.edu/Campaign/Donate.aspx WATCH MORE ON THE YOUTUBE CHANNEL - www.youtube.com/frumess JOIN THE PATREON FOR LESS THAN A $2 CUP OF COFFEE!! https://www.patreon.com/Frumess
