Geographies of Digital Exclusion.
My new open-access book with @dekstop.
Data and algorithms shape how we perceive and move through space. Inequalities and exclusions within digital datasets therefore fundamentally influence our lived and experienced geographies.
Geographies of Digital Exclusion.
My new open-access book with @dekstop.
Data and algorithms shape how we perceive and move through space. Inequalities and exclusions within digital datasets therefore fundamentally influence our lived and experienced geographies.
The book tells this story through an exploration of inequalities and exclusions within two of the world's most powerful mediators of geography: Google and Wikipedia.
When we speak about inequalities and exclusions, we're not just speaking about the ways that those platforms unevenly reflect the world. We're talking about the power that they have to re-create the world in their own image. They create geographies of digital exclusion.
This doesn’t mean that more equitable futures aren’t possible. By outlining the mechanisms through which our digital and material worlds intersect, the book concludes with a vision of what alternative digital geographies might look like.
