Values and Ethics of Computing and Infrastructure
Our lab is committed to exploring how experiences at the fringe and peripheral, when seen through a critical and postcolonial lens, can contribute to the shaping and conception of value and ethics in computing and its related infrastructures. In doing so, we strive to move beyond hegemonic norms and offer a broader view on how human systems interact with computing.
Subpoint
Postcolonial Computing and Infrastructure
We challenge the norm that technology is universal by centering how people in the majority world use,
produce, and interact with technology.
Subpoint
Critical Data Studies
We use Critical Data Studies to critically interrogate the cultural, social, and political dimensions of what it means to build, engage with, and live with ethical technology.
Community-Centric Design and Technology
Our lab is committed to centering community in designing technology through ethnographic engagement. We approach design as an opportunity to extend and shape what it means to understand communities by critically examining what it means to create technology to be equitable and fair.
Data Politics and Environmental Governance
Our lab examines how data governs and impacts the environment and the lived experiences of those living in and alongside it, working across environmental governance and the socioecological components and costs of computing systems.
Culture and Material Political Economy
We investigate value(s), labor, consumption, andwaste across different technopolitical dimensions to understand the contours of how technology can be used as a tool of control and, simultaneously, offer alternative futures.
