Unfair ID: Digital Identity from Injustice to Resistance
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. Silvia is Editor-In-Chief of the journal Information Technology for Development, Chair of the IFIP Working Group 9.4 on the Implications of Information and Digital Technologies for Development, and a Senior Editor at the Electronic Journal of Information Systems in Developing Countries.
