Creativity and co-intelligence. Self-authoring and self-tracking. Human meaning and synthetic media.  Artistry and slop. Audiences and AI ghosts.  Embodiment and bioprinted humanoids. At a time when machines are becoming more human, how do we resist becoming more like machines?

The Heterodox Libraries Community (HxLibraries) presents a rollicking exploration of HUMAN AUTHORSHIP on Friday, April 10th, 2026 from 11am - 3pm U.S. CT via Zoom. Registration is open via Google Forms. Please contact Sarah Hartman-Caverly (smh767@psu.edu) with any technical issues or other inquiries.

We invite thinkers and creators who are engaging deeply with the question of what it means to be human — in the present moment, in the wisdom of the past, and in the face of an ever-uncertain future. Join us to celebrate creativity and the human experience.

The virtual event link will be available upon registration and emailed ahead of the event. This event is hosted by the Heterodox Libraries Community and open to all Heterodox Academy members and the public. Additional details, including the symposium program, are available on the symposium website.
