But archival ingest has traditionally only supported particular Western forms of knowledge (records, texts, audio recordings, moving images, etc.) to the detriment of other knowledge systems and ways of being. We invite scholars to present completed or in-progress work on any of the following or related topics: - Racial equity and justice - Queer & gender archives - Indigenous data sovereignty - Scientific data - Religious/spiritual - Anomalous phenomena - Government & official - Restorative interventions Accepted panelists will be invited to contribute materials to a 4S workshop. Workshop participants will conduct comparative analyses of their selected artifacts and will be invited to contribute to a collaboratively authored whitepaper after the conference.
