"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"

It’s out! 🎉 My new paper is published.

I examine how Instagram users practice digital vigilantism to fight botting & porn bots — taking authenticity governance into their own hands. The study highlights user-driven surveillance and platform power asymmetries.

Part of the special issue “Digital Platforms and Agency” in Lateral (CSA), edited by Reed van Schenck & Elaine Venter.

Can people engage in debates about digitisation using indigenous languages? How does linguistic colonialism manifest itself in digital technologies? What are the implications of digital platform use for the future of African languages?

Looking forward to this online event on "African languages and technological transformations: debating knowledge, rights and power on a digital continent":

Have been feeling inspired after doing some work assembling communities that I'm really interested in - thought I'd do a tag dump for some of the areas that I'm looking into, as well as have already found super interesting, have been following and am boosting... (not in alphabetical order and probably too broad but for my own future reference also!)
