We research the intersection of technology and governance of digital systems. We investigate technological norms, develop alternative models for tech design and governance, and map out transnational flows of tech policy, design-thinking, and innovation across national and cultural borders.
We investigate the what, who, and how behind the reproduction of diverse forms of digital harms, biases, and oppression emerging from digital innovations.
We investigate the transnational political and economic drivers of disinformation and explore ways to defund the digital entrepreneurs and political elites profiting from hate and divisiveness.
We collaborate with community leaders, tech activists, journalists, and human rights defenders. We champion bottom-up solutions that foster transnational solidarity, social justice, and racial justice worldwide – solutions that go beyond techno-legal approaches. We are committed to highlighting grassroots interventions and healing efforts across the globe.
