"What if we could start over and build the Internet from scratch? How could it be rebuilt or reimagined as more equitable and just? ... Paris critically examines the myriad and contradictory promises, utility, and obstacles to building a completely new Internet.

Radical Infrastructure locates and analyzes the boundaries of how people and groups imagine, build, deploy, maintain, and use the Internet as they survive—and even dare to thrive—in challenging political, economic, and environmental contexts. Ultimately, Paris encourages active reflection among scholars, policymakers, and activists and reveals more grounded imaginaries, tactics, and opportunities for future people-centered projects"

First day of teaching at @KAEEGoetheUni in the new semester was great, met many excited faces, interested in leaning about #sts, #environmentalSTS, #environmentalAnthropology, #infrastructureStudies, #digitalSTS. Yeah! Looking forward to the rest of the week.

my work explores the role of data in reproducing social inequalities, especially now that we use AI. I have also studied the use of digital technologies in citizen science.

an #introduction ... 📝

my work explores the role of digital data, methods and infrastructures in the composition of collective life.

i'm currently focusing on...
- 📘 a book on public data practices
- 🌳 arts-based digital methods for exploring environmental issues
- 🐌 a special issue on critical technical practices in digital research
- 🗃 documenting online mobilisations of east and southeast asian communities in the uk

i'm senior lecturer in critical infrastructure studies at the department of digital humanities, king's college london; cofounder of publicdatalab.org; and research associate at digitalmethods.net + medialab.sciencespo.fr.

For anyone interested in #InfrastructureStudies or #CriticalDigitalInfrastructure, this is a fantastic article by Daniel Smith, Ash Kyd, Michael Reid (no relation) and Tim Leslie for the #ABC, uncovering the underwater #fibre #networking cables that provide #internet to Australians, and how they intersect with regional #geopolitics.

There are broader questions here about national capability and technological inter-dependence on other countries

But for me, it was another reminder of how much of our #infrastructure is hidden, unseen, yet able to shape our everyday lives. Surfacing hidden infrastructures helps us think critically about who's shaping those infrastructures, and for what purpose.

Experienced a remarkable uptick in hallway chatter and coffee making while the IT department was trying to bring the mailserver back up. Made me re-read a bit of Susan Leigh-Star.

It will be first time back since Bruno Latour died last year, which is still sinking in (gathering pieces here: https://www.are.na/jonathan-gray/remembering-bruno ... )

Research data repositories have worked to ensure data quality for decades. They are important infrastructures that enable data sharing and reuse - but what do they mean by "data quality assurance", and what practices have they adopted?

My colleague @Maxi and I from the project re3data COREF have just published the first systematic study on the topic, based on a survey among repository operators.

Sedimentary Legacy and the Disturbing Recurrence of the Human in Ecological Science

https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/03063127221101171

#STS #ecology #infrastructurestudies

In early days, ecologists defined nature as ‘pristine’, then changed their mind; but now struggle to investigate 'socioecology' because of old infrastructure.

The point: Legacy infrastructures are enabling and constraining at once. They can change, but only slowly and never wholly.

Presenting this to the ‘anthropogenic soils’ group

https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/03063127221101171

Story: In early days, ecologists defined nature as ‘pristine’, then changed their mind, but now struggle to investigate 'socioecology' because of old decisions.

Theory: Legacy infrastructures are enabling and constraining at once. They can change, but only slowly and never wholly.

#STS #ecology #infrastructurestudies

I haven't done an #introduction yet, so here goes:
I am a cultural anthropologist currently working on #environmentalstudies and #infrastructurestudies. I am focusing on (former) wetland landscapes in Belgrade, Serbia, and their transformation through infrastructure development over the past century.
In my previous research project, I examined #property relations, #labor, and #class in a worker-owned company in Croatia.

I did a podcast!

My hosts gave it the title ‘Research Infrastructure and the Long-Now’

Apparently I discuss sustaining infrastructure across decades, and across scientific change (ontological and epistemological).

(It sure sounds like me, but the actual moments of speaking are a blur)

My generous host & interviewer was Prof. Casandra Grundstrom at the NTNU University in Trondheim, Norway.

I’m finishing up a book on an ecology of HIV/AIDS research infrastructures that have come to increasingly interlock over the past 35+ years #interoperability
