We’re excited for next week’s public talk delivered by no other than @GloTechLab's inaugural Postdoc in Race and Digital Politics @pyo_jane. Dr Pyo is a global media and political communication scholar with a focus on digital technology and democracy & mediated civic engagement.

"...transactional ties, where the tech industry deliberately exploits cash-strapped public institutions and asserts its expertise in data science. Under the guise of public-private partnerships, tech companies have turned the state into a reliant client." -@BuBaykurt @GloTechLab

Nurturer archetype is needed when creating a container intending for bold and courageous visioning and action, for community leaders and engaged scholars too often burntout from extractivist relations. Thank you @MarthaFuentes for holding this space and looking fire doing it 🔥

First time to hear @HeesooJang2 speak and already buzzing with ideas for new schemes and projects @UMassAmherst 🔥

Our vision for @GloTechLab: host truly international, supportive, non extractive conversations and collaborations with critical scholars, activists, storytellers, and troublemakers. We embolden and amplify Global Majority-centered tech justice advocacy at #GloTechLab ✨🌎

A huge pleasure to collaborate with Brazilian colleagues @marceloufsj @raquelrecuero @camillatavares. Would not have been possible without @grohmann_rafael for @DigiLabour South-to-South Knowledge Exchange Space vs Disinfo that started this! 🔥download: glotechlab.net
