It was nice to see myself included on this list … top? Not so sure, but blushy. Take a look at the crew that’s been at Data & Society, among them Meredith Broussard and Mutale Nkonde, among many others. Also, to the point about being included in journals or boards, my experience has been that all of the top anthropology journals rejected my work for years. I published elsewhere, and then before long I just didn’t cold submit. Rather, I was asked to submit. Now I review for the journals that viewed my work as not “x” enough. One thing young scholars can do is precisely what’s happening here. Identify the people you want to read your work and include them as a suggested list of reviewers. I try to say yes to as much as I possibly can across fields, though it’s becoming more difficult as the number of requests steadily increase. Also, for young scholars out there who just want to talk, hmu off list and I can offer whatever modest feedback I can.

On a related enquiry, how many of you working on critical race theory and technology act as reviewers or are on the editorial boards of journals. If so, which journals? I'm encountering difficulties in getting the right platforms for this area of work. There seems to be a resistance or a lack of expertise in this area from my experience. In my last paper on livestreaming and the NZ massacre, one reviewer's comment was that I didn't need to write about the event as 'the world had already condemned it'. Unless we nurture this area of research, there is certainly a push back I feel. best, yasmin Yasmin Ibrahim, PhD (LSE), FRSA, SFHEA Professor of Digital Economy and Culture (2019) The Politics of Gaze; The Image Economy Online, https://www.routledge.com/Politics-of-Gaze-The-Image-Economy-Online-1st-Edit...
