Very proud of this timely work with Nedah Nemati. We argue that carceral technologies, such as electronic monitoring, make indiscriminate psychological torture a feature of everyday life – even for people who have not been charged with a crime. www.openglobalrights.org/carceral-tec...

We are excited to launch "A Woman's Place is in a Safe City," a data story on the use of #NirbhayaFunds for digital surveillance in India, in collaboration with @mitdusp.bsky.social Data+Feminism Lab, POV Mumbai @thesafecityapp.bsky.social & 3 anonymised Kolkata-based NGOs. bit.ly/3EvqV3R 🧵Read on:

Thanks @alisabokulich.bsky.social for getting me on here! I’m an interdisciplinary researcher studying the social impacts of carceral AI, a term I use for algorithms implicated in the control and incarceration of people. Just started a dual postdoc at Harvard. Excited to meet other folks on here!
