A series of live streams accompany the launch of the digital strategy, and this first of four events will feature Jesse McKee, BACP Lead Investigator and 221A Head of Strategy, with Rosemary Heather, BACP Editorial Director and Principal Researcher. Following a presentation of the initiative’s research cluster and its narratives, key performance targets and strategy screen, Svitlana Matviyenko, Assistant Professor of Communications and Associate Director of the Digital Democracies Institute of Simon Fraser University, joins the conversation to discuss the strategy through the lens of infrastructure in the digital realm. We’ll ask questions about the ways this infrastructure can reproduce or block, reinforce or interrupt, support or intertwine with colonialism and imperialism.
Accessibility note: Live captioning will be provided during the event. A full transcript and recording will be published in the days following.
