My latest article "The Consequences of Data Activism: Data Sustainability Package in Air and Biodiversity Data Politics" has just been published in "Social Movement Studies," in which I discuss the most important empirical result from my doctoral research, namely what are the opportunities and threats associated with the use of data by environmental activists.

The article can be found here (paywall): https://doi.org/10.1080/14742837.2025.2554605

The open access preprint is available here: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/395107150_The_consequences_of_data_activism_Data_Sustainability_Package_in_air_and_biodiversity_politics

Algorithmic Regimes

Algorithms have risen to become one, if not the central technology for producing, circulating, and evaluating knowledge in multiple societal arenas. In this book, scholars from the social sciences, humanities, and computer science argue that this shift has, and will continue to have, profound implications for how knowledge is produced and what and whose knowledge is valued and deemed valid. To attend to this fundamental change, the authors propose the concept of algorithmic regimes and demonstrate how they transform the epistemological, methodological, and political foundations of knowledge production, sensemaking, and decision-making in contemporary societies. Across sixteen chapters, the volume offers a diverse collection of contributions along three perspectives on algorithmic regimes: the methods necessary to research and design algorithmic regimes, the ways in which algorithmic regimes reconfigure sociotechnical interactions, and the politics engrained in algorithmic regimes.

Proud to be a contributor to this special issue. Here’s my research article on the duality of care in air quality data politics: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/1369118X.2023.2296926
Just out! Introduction to the „Care-ful Data Studies” special issue of Information, Communication & Society by @irzakhar and @juliane. Much needed theoretical shift from critique to caring in data worlds! https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/1369118X.2024.2316758
Two new papers on environmental expertise, authority, and accountability, with a focus on coastal planning in Louisiana: Ned Randolph explores physical models of the Mississippi River (https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/09644016.2022.2113357), I highlight computer modelling and metrics (https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/09505431.2022.2151427)
My OA article "Data phronesis and the duality of care in the air quality data politics" has just been published in “Information, Communication & Society”. In it, I address the situated valuation of data practices in disputes over air quality as matters of care! #DataActivism #datafication #data #AirQuality Link: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/1369118X.2023.2296926
