It seems some folks posting below are not familiar with my work or commitments. I am *not* advocating for tech-mediated policing. The reminder was not an encouragement but a WARNING against the #NewJimCode.

On this 2-year anniversary of the Ida B. Wells Just Data Lab, I’m happy to share some of the work coming out of the #IdaLab. Before I do, lemme say: NONE of this would be possible w/o the digital stewardship of @CierraRobson, associate director extraordinaire!
This semester one of the #IdaLab teams led by @PrincetonCITP emerging scholar, Kenia Hale, and rising @PrincetonAAS senior, Payton Croskey, focused on liberatory technologies.
The Liberatory Technology team created a GitHub repository (which they hope you will use!) that grew out of the research question: “how do people protect themselves from the state while also dancing in the sun?”
“We also demand that steps be taken to rename Wilson residential college, Woodrow Wilson School of Public Policy and International Affairs...” (Black Justice League 2015)
Today 10AM est I’ll be speaking about “Racism, Vulnerability, and Refuting Black Pathology” alongside Nancy Krieger and other wonderful colleagues as part of this UNESCO webinar.

Are you a community org that could use a team of 4 students working to advance your antiracist covid-related advocacy this summer with research & actionable tools? DM me. Students are already paid, so you supply the specific mission... 1/
•Healthcare & hospitals
•Housing & neighborhoods
•Policing & surveillance
•Work
•Prisons
•Education
•Tests & treatments
•Mourning & mental health
•Mutual aid & solidarity
•Arts & alternative futures
Does your org want to collaborate with the Lab?
I am inspired in this work by DuBois—“do not think of the purpose of the University as simply a cloistered center of authoritative scientific information, nor do we regard it simply as a center of effective training for students...” /3
