Something is happening here on BlueSky. When the madman bought Twitter, I left immediately and set up Mastodon and Bluesky accounts. Activity has been moderate but now exploding post-election. Hopeful.
In this new article, Agnes Liminga and I explored data activism discourses revealing two distinct strands: social justice advocates vs. established elites. This division raises questions about who is truly driving the data justice agenda https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/20539517241266416
The first day of our symposium on digital research methods, mess, myths, and madness is underway! We are enjoying cozy workshops and thought-provoking talks #digitalmethods
Our new article shows that Critical AI Studies address race and gender more than class and capitalism. It stresses the need for integrating political economy critiques into AI research for a fuller understanding of its socio-economic, ecological, and political effects.
