Just published a new article called “Care as (re)capture: Data colonialism and race during times of crisis” in New Media & Society! journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.…
This discussion builds from the work of folks like @DrSyedMustafaA1, Paola Ricaurte Quijano, @Abebab and others who have emphasized the importance of centering race, racial capitalism, etc. in conversations regarding data and colonialism.

We conducted a workshop based on parts of the curriculum at the 2022 @AlliedMediaConf and had a lot of fun talking to people about the concepts of data criminalization and data liberation. Below we break down what we discussed!
