Episode Synopsis "Wikidata: why we contribute to the robot epistemology"

Knowledge Justice Research Lead Maari Maitreyi explores how hegemonic communities’ views, agenda, categories of classification and decisions can be embedded in Wikidata and established as truth. If we aim to decolonize structured data, how can we engage critically with it and reflect the lives, histories, cultures of our people and communities and fortify our realities on these platforms? The post Wikidata: why we contribute to the robot epistemology appeared first on Whose Knowledge?.
