Dear all, I’m sharing below some information about the workshop *“Platforms as Epistemic Infrastructures: Producing, Organizing and Contesting Knowledge,”* which will take place online on Friday, October 2, at 9 a.m. (Brasilia time) / 2 p.m. (CEST) The event brings together researchers from three Brazilian and three Dutch universities and is part of a project funded by the CNPq/MCTI Call No. 16/2024 — Support for International Projects. For full program and abstract, please see https://ppgcom.fafich.ufmg.br/noticiadet.php?numaut=447 We hope to see you there! Carlos d'Andréa (UFMG, Brasil) On the behalf of the organizers *Platforms as Epistemic Infrastructures: Producing, Organizing and Contesting Knowledge * *Friday, October 2nd, 2026* 9 to 11 a.m. (Brasília) / 2 to 4 p.m. (CEST) *Registration:* https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfcBu1BDiRWvGTjPuUihmsS4U2d1gdJtq0a... Digital platforms have become increasingly entangled with the ways in which knowledge is produced, organized, circulated, and contested. Rather than simply providing channels for the dissemination of knowledge, platforms can be understood as epistemic infrastructures: sociotechnical arrangements that shape what becomes visible, measurable, knowable, and actionable. Building on the discussions developed in the first editions of the event <https://www.google.com/url?q=https://asca.uva.nl/shared/subsites/amsterdam-institute-for-humanities-research/en/events/2026/01/epistemic-infrastructure.html&sa=D&source=docs&ust=1789927652962394&usg=AOvVaw37R8PMMtf7cdkE3ZEARvtg>, this third meeting brings together contributions that examine different configurations of epistemic infrastructures across science, sustainability, climate knowledge, sports, and popular culture. The presentations explore how data, technologies, metrics, and material arrangements participate in the production and organization of knowledge, while also drawing attention to the tensions, disruptions, and forms of appropriation that emerge around these infrastructures. The event seeks to explore how epistemic infrastructures are continuously produced and maintained through situated practices. It also asks how these infrastructures can be destabilized, contested, or reconfigured, and how different actors develop their own ways of knowing and acting within them. Funded by the Brazilian research fund MCTI/CNPq, the workshop results from a cooperation between three Brazilian universities – Federal University of Minas Gerais/UFMG (Carlos d’Andréa and Natália Dias), Universidade do Estado da Bahia/UNEB (Elias Bitencourt), Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Minas Gerais/Puc Minas (Verônica Soares da Costa) –and three Dutch universities - University of Amsterdam (Markus Stauff), Utrecht University (Donya Alinejad) and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (Judith Keilbach). *PROGRAMME* *Opening *- 9 a.m. (Brasília) / 2 p.m (CEST) * Session 1 - Climate, Sustainability and Knowledge Infrastructures *- 9:10 a.m. / 2:10 p.m Donya Alinejad (UU, NL) and coauthors Judith Keilbach (VU, NL) Chair: Carlos d’Andréa (UFMG, BRA) *Session 2 - Sports, Fandoms and Knowledge Practices *- 9:55 a.m / 2:55 p.m. Markus Stauff (UvA, NL) Natália Santos Dias (UFMG, BRA) Chair: Elias Bitencourt (UNEB, BRA) *Closing remarks - *10:45 a.m / 3:45 p.m.
