Towards liberation through knowledge and tech justice: the Whose Knowledge? story and practice
We will explore the journey of Whose Knowledge? over the last 10 years, as a Global Majority feminist collective at the intersections of knowledge and tech justice, resisting Big Knowledge and Big Tech and (re)imagining feminist and liberatory alternatives. Through this journey, we will share some of the messy human practices in trying to be what we want to see in the world!
