Dear all,
It is a great pleasure to invite you to the “Infrastructural Interventions”
workshop (21 and 22 June 2021) organised by King’s Digital Lab, King’s Department of Digital Humanities, and the Critical Infrastructures Studies Collective (cistudies.org). The first event in the Digital Humanities
& Critical Infrastructure Studies Workshop Series brings together leading thinkers in Digital Humanities and Social Sciences to critically interrogate the nature and fragility of infrastructure at individual, social, and planetary scales and reconfigure their
nature from social justice, feminist and decolonial perspectives. The following questions will guide us through the discussion: How, precisely, did our contemporary digital infrastructure evolve? How are different actors challenging, contesting and creating
alternatives to official data infrastructures? How can DH infrastructure be informed by an analysis of power—and even actively challenge existing power imbalances? How might DH infrastructure reject the hierarchical and other divisions that currently structure
DH work? How can digital humanists reimagine and rebuild the world differently through infrastructure?
Registration for this event is open through the Eventbrite
here.
I’m looking forward to seeing you at the event!
Best wishes,
Urszula Pawlicka-Deger
