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

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.
