Data Justice Across Environmental Publics
November 27, 2017
The Monday Night Seminar carries on the tradition of Marshall McLuhan's public seminars at the University of Toronto. This year's thematic is MsUnderstanding Media. All seminars take place from 6 - 8pm within the same intimate Coach House setting where McLuhan once held court. In this up-close and personal environment, a range of thinkers – academics, activists, scientists, artists, designers and planners – will explore digital culture from a feminist perspective. The Monday Night Seminars are designed to challenge prevailing cultural notions about technology and provoke new insight on the possibilities for a more equitable technological future.
Prototyping Data Justice across Environmental and Data Publics: Privacy, Precarity, and Resistance
How do we build decolonial futures into data infrastructures? This seminar addresses data justice as an emerging zone of creation and politics. We will discuss frame works of data justice in relation to modes of refusal, consent, and reparation. We speak to issues of environmental justice, open data, and smart city technology as critical contemporary sites of risk and opportunity. Key to this discussion are the politics of surveillance in relation to positions of precarity (racialized, gendered, community). Join us in prototyping a vision of data justice and strategies of resistance.
