We would like to cordially invite you to our Global Digital Cultures Soirée, which will take place on Wednesday, 4 December, 2024, between 18:00 and 22:00, at the Brakke Grond Cafe. 

The speakers this time are Silvia Masiero (The University of Oslo) and Valentina Carraro (UvA). 

In this soiree, Silvia Masiero will present her new book Unfair ID (Sage, Data Justice Series, October 2024). Using a data justice lens to explore narratives of unfairness in, and harm caused through digital ID, she will discuss routes to build activist mechanisms to combat unfairness.

After brief presentations from these scholars, the floor will be open for questions and comments from participants. 

As always, our soirées involve food and drinks; the evening will start with drinks, and dinner will be served around 20:00. Attendance is free of charge.

We look forward to seeing you there!
