DESCRIPTION:How can we design technologies that support human rights strug
 gles? What values and principles should such technologies pursue? These an
 d other questions are unpacked in the Provocations project and the ‘Tech
  for the Pluriverse’ card game developed by the CGHR team.\n\nIn this ev
 ent\, we will be launching three original and exciting research outputs: T
 he ‘Provocations for Tech Design’ blog co-authored by CGHR Postdoctora
 l Scholar Dr Sebastián Lehuedé\, CGHR Co-Directors Dr Ella McPherson and
  Dr Sharath Srinivasan\, our accompanying Discussion Paper published by th
 e Harvard Carr Center for Human Rights Policy\, and the ‘Tech for the Pl
 uriverse’ card game designed by Holly Sheridan with Sebastián\, Ella an
 d Sharath. The event will begin with a conversation between Sebastián\, E
 lla\, Sharath and Holly and will continue as an opportunity to play the ca
 rd game as a group.\n\n\n\nThe Provocations Blog:\n\nIn a context marked b
 y the proliferation of extractive technologies\, this series of six Medium
  blog posts proposes an approach to platforms and digital data that is dri
 ven by solidarity and plurality. These provocations have been inspired b
 y CGHR-supported projects\, such as The Whistle and Africa’s Voices\, an
 d tackle relevant issues brought up by critical data\, feminist and decolo
 nial scholars from a pragmatic and practice-inspired perspective. Some of 
 the themes addressed are slow tech\, ambiguity and care in data creation.
  \n\n\nThe Pluriverse Card Game:\n\nThe ‘Tech for the Pluriverse’ ca
 rd game gets its inspiration from the Provocations project and was designe
 d by CGHR intern Holly Sheridan with Sebastián\, Ella and Sharath. It pro
 mpts designers\, policy-makers\, and human rights practitioners\, as well 
 as scholars and students\, to think about the multiple networks of actors\
 , landscapes and artifacts that make up technologies. Players are encourag
 ed to apply values such as solidarity and plurality\, as well to think pra
 gmatically\, about relevant social and environmental issues brought about 
 by technology. Fin tech developers\, social media activists and rivers pow
 ering data centres are part of the range of characters interacting in this
  game.\nPost-event\, you are most welcomed to join us at CGHR's Welcome Dr
 inks at the Atrium of the Alison Richard Building at 6.30pm .
