So exciting to see Superrr Lab's documentation of the recent Digital Futures Gathering online already! I wrote an essay about the kind of digital ID I actually want, and a reminder for myself that it's up to us to think about what we DO want:
"We need realities and futures where we do more than merely get through or withstand. We deserve those which we enjoy, and in which we thrive."

Doing a deep dive today into #feminist approaches to monitoring, evaluation and learning #MEL, and associated #responsibledata practices. I'll share some highlights:
“Feminist evaluation draws on the feminist research epistemology, which is about knowledge—and calls to attention who can create and produce knowledge and under what circumstances.”

My mastodon feed looks a LOT like my early Twitter feed - which is kind of cool but also different.. Why am I not finding anything under the #ResponsibleData hashtag? Is anybody out there from that community?

OK I just added @MERLTech over at mastodon.cloud. Please follow if you're interested in the intersection of #monitoring #evaluation #research #learning #technology, #ResponsibleData, #DigitalDevelopoment, #inclusion, #equity. We tend to focus on #humanitarian or #GlobalDevelopment fields.

...which is, well, problematic. I hope if you're reading the report, you aslo read the essential and eloquent critique offered in the #responsibleData list responses!

"I don’t think anyone ever thought about data #privacy or what to do in the event the system fell into the wrong hands," said Welton Chang, chief technology officer for Human Rights First, himself a former Army intelligence officer. #Afghanistan #ResponsibleData

Having cognitive dissonance with the notion of conducting a #ResponsibleData discussion event on top of a #SurveillanceCapitalism platform. But that said, ya gotta start somewhere! 😉

(This message will be echoed from Mastodon to Twitter.)

Despite recent attempts by certain loudmouths at labeling me a neo-liberal supporter of #SurveillanceCapitalism, our day to day real work on #ResponsibleData use & protection for #Humanitarian & #InternationalDevelopment work continues. Here's a preview of more to come this year.

Just published: the #responsibledata community have written an open letter to WFP about their partnership with Palantir, and more broadly, about humanitarian-private sector collaboration:

Hivos is concerned about partnership between @WFP@twitter.com and software firm #Palantir. We join #responsibledata community in open letter urging UN to reconsider the agreement, which lacks #transparency and poses possible risks arising from data sharing. https://responsibledata.io/2019/02/08/open-letter-to-wfp-re-palantir-agreement/

Grateful for thoughtful colleagues.
