  1. The day starts with #frustration! I'm using the Norwegian Historical Population Register (histreg.no/index.php/home) to get IDs for the Norwegian Emigrants who left for North America in the middle of the 19th century. But alas! I cannot verify any so far…
    Name variations, spelling errors, lack of sources, and the (low) social status of emigrants make this difficult.

  6. RE: sciences.social/@zemki/1160806

    I’m glad this great article is part of our special issue on #datafication alongside with fantastic contributions on critical data studies, network sampling and sustainable data practices: doi.org/10.5771/1615-634X-2026

  7. "In recent years, critical data studies from the Global South have gained traction, generating debates on power, knowledge production, and the politics of data. While these discussions challenge universalist frameworks, they also risk essentializing the ‘Global South’, requiring a more nuanced approach. This special issue centres Latin America as a site of theoretical, methodological, and empirical inquiry, highlighting its potential to generate new insights into datafication, power, and artificial intelligence. Rather than treating Latin America as a passive recipient of Global North theories, this issue foregrounds its epistemological and methodological contributions to global debates. Engaging with frameworks such as capitalism, coloniality, and dependency theory, the articles explore the region's heterogeneity and intellectual traditions in social sciences, humanities, and science and technology studies. This introduction proposes a research agenda for Latin American critical data studies – one that reflects historical legacies while envisioning possible data futures through interdisciplinary and critical engagement. It interrogates the politics of knowledge production, emphasizing the need for non-extractive, dialogical approaches to studying data in, from, and with Latin America. By centering Latin American scholarship and experiences, this special issue challenges dominant narratives in critical data studies and offers alternative theoretical perspectives that are globally informed yet locally grounded."

  21. #Privacy #Datafication #Surveillance: "I have to confess something: I find privacy boring. When I first received Pressly’s book, I groaned. Within the first few pages, I realized my mistake. The highest compliment I can pay “The Right to Oblivion” is that it rescues privacy from the lawyers. Pressly’s version of privacy has a moral content, not just a legal one. And this gives it relevance to a broader set of intellectual and political pursuits.

    There is a wealth of scholarship on surveillance. Simone Browne has described its racial and racist dimensions, and Karen Levy and others have examined how digital monitoring can discipline and disempower workers. But privacy is rarely the central preoccupation in this work; other concerns, such as justice and equality, figure more prominently. With Pressly, however, privacy is defined in such a way as to seem vital to such critiques. Lawyers like to make privacy about process. Pressly makes it about power.

    If that were everything the book did, it would be enough. But “The Right to Oblivion” is actually much stranger than my summary thus far suggests. The reason that Pressly feels so strongly about imposing limits on datafication is not only because of the many ways that data can be used to damage us. It is also because, in his view, we lose something precious when we become information, regardless of how it is used. In the very moment when data are made, Pressly believes, a line is crossed. “Oblivion” is his word for what lies on the other side."

  22. 🔨The Hammer of #AI: The belief that AI alone can solve every societal issue risks overshadowing the essential process of #datafication. Let's shift focus to how data is created and governed, ensuring a more comprehensive understanding of our digital futures #TechFutures #AI4SI

  33. Today is the last day of #ecer2024 in Nicosia. I had the opportunity to talk about digitalization-related dissolutions of boundaries in school leadership, while @ptulowitzki presented the results of our recently published review on shadowing school leaders. Many thanks to all colleagues for the exciting presentations, relaxed coffee breaks and the inspiring discussions about #digitalization, #datafication, #schoolleadership and much more. I'm already looking forward to Belgrade!
