Contexts for Justice
The challenge and nature of contextualization has been part of anthropological theorizing for a century. How do we understand de-contextualization and re-contextualization as political projects? Inspired by work in the anthropology of science and postcolonial STS which avoids essentializing the elsewheres of technological practice, this panel will address the spatialities and locatedness of data spaces, asking how to de-center the dominant framing of those spaces. How to decolonize, and provincialize, our understanding of data? In what way should these conversations around decolonizing data be used to create generative connections across the anthropological community and beyond?
