Hi all, I'm a PhD student in the San Francisco Bay Area (UC Berkeley) and so excited this is happening! People I would suggest who are not already on this thread as far as I can tell: United States East Coast not Bay Area, I think she's a younger scholar (still a grad student as of 2017, not sure right now) and it's good to include younger scholars too! Rising star Joy Buolamwini https://www.poetofcode.com/ https://www.media.mit.edu/people/joyab/overview/ https://www.media.mit.edu/people/joyab/updates/ Also depending on the type of event, this might be stretching the bounds a bit to include artists who don't specifically engage "technology" writ large (are there any artist like that left in the Bay Area?! yes!) Ra Malika Imhotep, PhD Candidate in African American Studies at UC Berkeley, https://bampfa.org/event/black-life-ra-malika-imhotep as well as the artist curatorial collective of which she is a member, The Black Aesthetic https://www.theblkaesthetic.com/team Best wishes, Noura Howell Ph.D. Candidate School of Information University of California, Berkeley nourahowell.com Pronouns: she/her/hers On Wed, Nov 20, 2019 at 7:45 AM Rebecca Bayeck <baryonne28@gmail.com> wrote:
May not be from the bay area, but I will add Dr. Safiya Umoja Noble <https://safiyaunoble.com/> (I think started this conversation with her dissertation research, and just published *Algorithm of Oppression). *I am also linking this recent article, written by Sherley Dorsey on "Black women scholars fighting for justice in the world of biased algorithms" < https://www.essence.com/feature/these-black-women-are-fighting-for-justice-i...

No Bay Area, but I would recommend you to look at Lisa Nakamura at U-M: https://lsa.umich.edu/ac/people/faculty/lnakamur.html

Greetings everyone,
A friend is putting together a SF Bay Area event on race and technology and asked me to find out the following:
- Who are the world's top scholars at the bleeding edge of research on race and technology? - Who are the top scholars/researchers at the cutting edge of research on race and technology in the SF Bay Area?
Might the AIR community have an answer to her inquiry?
Thanks so much, Yosem _______________________________________________ The Air-L@listserv.aoir.org mailing list is provided by the Association of Internet Researchers http://aoir.org Subscribe, change options or unsubscribe at: http://listserv.aoir.org/listinfo.cgi/air-l-aoir.org
