Primer, Digital Sovereignty and Homeless Worker Movement in Brazil
Hello AoIR, In this May Day, the [1]Homeless Worker Movement in Brazil (MTST) launched a primer on digital sovereignty. It addresses issues of sovereignty and technology from social movements, workers' struggles and the majority world. The primer was supported by the University of Toronto through the [2]ACM Research, Creative & Professional Practice Grant (RCPP) from the Department of Arts, Culture and Media. The research and dissemination process was built collectively between members of the Technology Sector of the Homeless Worker Movement in Brazil and [3]Rafael Grohmann/[4]DigiLabour , as a knowledge mobilizati on activity. Read the Primer in [5]English or [6]Portuguese. It is also available on the social movement's[7] home page. Some of the principles of the Homeless Worker Movement in Brazil for digital sovereignty are: * Technological sovereignty focused on a "popular" framework, anchored in the working class perspective; * Significant access to technologies, with technological literacy conducted from a critical perspective; * Ownership of digital platforms and other technologies in the hands of workers; * Data should serve workers, not work against them; * Safe Internet for minoritized populations. best, Rafael -- Dr. Rafael Grohmann Assistant Professor of Media Studies / Critical Data and Platform Studies Department of Arts, Culture and Media, UTSC Faculty of Information, UTSG University of Toronto [8]https://ischool.utoronto.ca/profile/rafael-grohmann/ References 1. https://nucleodetecnologia.com.br/cartilha 2. https://www.utsc.utoronto.ca/acm/rcpp-grant-research-areas 3. https://www.utsc.utoronto.ca/acm/rafael-grohmann 4. https://digilabour.com.br/ 5. https://nucleodetecnologia.com.br/docs/Cartilha-MTSTec-ENG.pdf 6. https://nucleodetecnologia.com.br/docs/Cartilha-MTSTec-PORT.pdf 7. https://www.utsc.utoronto.ca/acm/rafael-grohmann 8. https://ischool.utoronto.ca/profile/rafael-grohmann/
