Digital Society and the Global South: A Critique of Knowledge Production and Future Research Trajectories
Digital technology has a significant impact on everyone’s lives and future, but many individuals, particularly those from the Global South, are left out of discussions on the direction of the digital society. This inequality is a structural issue with real-world roots. This issue is known as “digital coloniality.” This conference will explore the problems with current studies on digital society, a critique of knowledge production on digital society, and possibilities of future research directions which recognize global cognitive justice.
