SUMMARY:At the Crossroads: The Digital Rights Movement in Times of Data Co
 loniality\, Sebastián Lehuedé - Sebastián Lehuedé

CONTACT:Jenna Anderson
DESCRIPTION:In recent years\, researchers and activists have denounced the
  complicity of data-intensive technologies with the asymmetries that emerg
 ed in parallel with European colonialism. Dynamics of economic dispossessi
 on and the undermining of alternative ways of thinking are part of the phe
 nomenon of ‘data coloniality’.\n\nSebastián’s talk addresses releva
 nt questions regarding resistance under data coloniality\, asking who shou
 ld carry out this process and how. When looking at the field of activism\,
  the current conjuncture encompasses a turning point for the digital right
 s movement. To counter data coloniality\, this movement would need to inco
 rporate rights\, actors and societal horizons that have not been central i
 n its struggle. Fortunately\, changes taking place in regions such as Lati
 n America offer a hope\, although the risk of co-optation shall not be und
 ermined.\n\nDr Sebastián Lehuedé recently joined the Centre of Governanc
 e and Human Rights as a postdoctoral research scholar. This talk will draw
  upon his previous research on astronomy data in Chile and discuss prelimi
 nary insights from the project that he is developing at CGHR.
