50 McCosh Hall

Award-winning novelist Nnedi Okorafor engages in conversation about her new novel, "Death of the Author," with Princeton's Chika Okeke-Agulu as part of the "Humanities for AI" series.

Book sale and singing to follow.

About the book:

A disabled Nigerian American woman pens a wildly successful sci-fi novel, but as her fame rises, she loses control of the narrative—a surprisingly cutting, yet heartfelt drama about art and love, identity and connection, and, ultimately, what makes us human. The future of storytelling is here.

About Nnedi Okorafor:

Nnedi Okorafor — the global leader of Africanfuturism, and an international literary superstar — is an award-winning novelist of science fiction, fantasy, and magical realism for adults and children. Among her many works are the Bintitrilogy, the Akata Witch books (both optioned for the screen), and her latest, "Death of the Author," which George R.R. Martin calls, "Her best work yet... about fame, culture, the power of story, the writer’s life... and robots.” She is the author of "Black Panther: Long Live the King," and she authored the spinoff graphic novel, "Wakanda Forever," which became a Hollywood blockbuster. Okorafor is the winner of the Hugo, Nebula, World Fantasy, Locus, and Lodestar Awards. She holds a Ph.D. in Literature, two Master’s Degrees (Journalism and Literature) and lives in Phoenix, Arizona with her daughter Anyaugo.

Chika Okeke-Agulu is Robert Schirmer professor of Art and Archaeology and African American Studies; director, Africa World Initiative.

About "Humanities for AI:"

This event is part of “Humanities for AI” — a series of projects, initiatives, and conversations that centers humanities values and approaches in the development, use, and interpretation of the field broadly known as AI.

While the discourse around AI often prioritizes innovation and acceleration, a humanistic perspective highlights continuities, explores context, and fosters critical engagement with algorithms, systems, data, and tools. At a time when the scale of AI is increasingly large, a humanistic approach values attention to smaller scales and a more deliberate pace. Humanities for AI seeks to equalize our understanding of technology with an extensive, and user-friendly, understanding of traditional humanities research topics. Just as we are experts in introducing computational thinking to humanities researchers, we are now committed to introducing humanistic thinking to researchers in AI.


Supported by the Belknap Fund of the Humanities Council at Princeton University and co-sponsored by Princeton University's Center for Digital Humanities, Africa World Initiative, the Program in African Studies, and presented with support from the National Endowment for the Humanities: Any views, findings, conclusions or recommendations expressed in this programming do not necessarily represent those of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
