Book review: Technocolonialism by Mirca Madianou

Mirca Madianou’s Technocolonialism shows how six logics of digital humanitarianism – humanitarian accountability, audit, capitalism, technosolutionism, securitization and resistance – together combine to reproduce colonial practices of extraction, paternalisation, marginalisation and disempowerment through digital solutions.

#STS Scholars for Remote Access and Financial Fair Play!

We call on #ScienceAndTechnologyStudies (@sts) scholars advocating for #RemoteAccess and #Financial #FairPlay to sign this petition.

We demand STS communities to
1. provide remote access, ensure hybrid participation possibilities
2. make costs of future STS conferences& associations transparent.

#CfP for the #STSHub25

Critically #teaching #STS in #German(y)?

Are you involved as teacher, student or otherwise in #ScienceAndTechnologyStudies teaching in #Germany?

Please share your situated analyses of teaching&#learning realities at our workshop in March at Berlin's #STShub.

I hope to link the conversation to #Critical #Pedagogy considerations in #STS.
