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 present some of the stories contained in the book, building on her 14-year research on the use of Aadhaar’s biometrics in the Indian Public Distribution System (PDS). Based on this, she will discuss routes to build activist mechanisms to combat unfairness.
