We are thrilled to announce the inaugural class of the #JustTech Fellowship, which provides unrestricted awards for researchers and practitioners imagining radically different tech futures that embrace joy, hope, self-determination, and equity.
To create just, equitable public interest tech ecosystems, we need to center and support voices from the communities most impacted by tech’s biases and harms. Learn about the 2022 Just Tech fellows, outstanding leaders in tech & social justice.

A more just tech future requires deep investment in people to make space for visioning and creation, not simply tech solutions.

Check out the latest from #JustTech. Now published, a field review on race and surveillance from Brian Jordan Jefferson and an essay by @chazparnett on the plantation logics of exploitative data practices just-tech.ssrc.org
@chazparnett In “Information Technology, Surveillance, and Race in the US,” Brian Jordan Jefferson reviews research on racial surveillance–both before and after the use of digital computers, with particular attention to border control and incarceration. just-tech.ssrc.org/field-reviews/…
@chazparnett In “Data: The New Cotton” @chazparnett argues that racial capitalism is a helpful framework for understanding the emerging world of surveillance capitalism. just-tech.ssrc.org/articles/data-…
In “Who’s in Charge? Information Technology and Disability Justice in the United States,” a new review on the #JustTech platform, @AmeliaNGibson and @FractalEcho examine discussions related to data and technology access for people with disabilities. just-tech.ssrc.org/field-reviews/…
@AmeliaNGibson and @FractalEcho complicate the idea that disabled people truly have “access” to technology in contexts where they do not control technology, such as healthcare, “smart” homes and communities, and the workplace. just-tech.ssrc.org/field-reviews/…
Gibson and Williams make several recommendations “to consider the disabled person as a primary user, capable and deserving of full access” such as considering independence of disabled people, strategic divestment, giving power to patients & making the internet a public utility.
