Next up we have @StarFeuri talking about their co-authored paper titled "I'm just so terrified of my future": Epistemic Violence in disability related technology research

#CHI2020 #CHIversity @StarFeuri when disabled people do research, reviewing the literature is a nightmare...

no-one ever asks about how disabled people feel about the outcomes of studies. and disabled scholars experience violence when they are doing their literature reviews

it's that time of the week again where we're live-tweeting some fantastic #CHI2020 papers for our #CHIversity panel!

First up: Aloha Ambe on An Oldy's Lament: Poem of Resistance and Resilience of the 'Othered' in Technology Colonisation dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.114… Aloha starts with a recording of Julie Butler's reading of her poem: 'An Oldy's Lament' including great lines such as:

"We have much to offer if only you'd see"

"don't let technology be the upper hand
include us, but gently you understand"

Many in our group are members of @TheOfficialACM and/or @sigchi
As members, we are angered by this tweet and seriously concerned if this is what our leadership advocates

As an academic association we should not be lamenting the losses to the unethical facial recognition industry

We know these facial recognition technologies are used for surveillance and the over policing of communities of colour, trans people, activists, etc. The algorithms are unethical. We know this. So much work has shown it time and again: @morganklauss @safiyanoble etc
