[Air-L] Hey all, who are the world's top researchers on race and tech?

[Yasmin Ibrahim]

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.

best,
yasmin
