I would tag a request on to this to open up the discussion further. If I were organising an event in Europe and wanted to invite local scholars and speakers - who would I invite? As an Indian tech researcher living in Europe, I find myself regularly being approached by journalists and some civil society organisations to talk about 'race and tech'; except I don't work on this, and never have. Is "race and tech" a research field in Europe? Is it possibly ethnicity, migration, religion, coloniality, race + tech? Who is looking at digital cultures and tech politics at this interection? (I can think of people outside the academy however ...) (On one occasion I agreed, as long as they let me talk about my own research .. ... ) Thanks and best wishes, Maya On 11/21/19 1:56 PM, Mcglotten, Shaka wrote:
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.

Turn the question around and maybe ask how many joujrnals seek us out as experts rather than do desk rejects of those submissions struggling through this pathway?
also some of us review way too many because we become the tokens.

Thank you for this extremely useful and exciting list of readings.
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.

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?
