JEDI Workshop
@jedi-workshop.bsky.social
The JEDI workshop is an interdisciplinary forum for researchers who are interested in critically interrogating the role of information access technology in the struggle for democracy, social justice, and emancipation. Website: http://jedi.inertial.science/
Last week I presented a keynote at #SIGIR2026 titled "Emancipatory Information Retrieval: Towards Critical IR Theories and Practices". Slides: bhaskar-mitra.github.io/files/emanci... I went in nervously excited but several people appreciated talking openly about this topic. A quick thread. 🧵 1/
A huge thanks to everyone who joined us last Friday for @acmsigir.bsky.social 2026 JEDI Workshop. We may have laid down a few foundational bricks but the real work of building liberatory movements and research agendas within IR begins here! ✊🏽
