OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
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.
Silvia Masiero is an Associate Professor of Information Systems at the University of Oslo, Norway. She has authored over 80 peer-reviewed research papers on topics including digital social protection, platform-mediated surveillance and decolonial approaches to information systems research.
