My 11-year-old library monitor self just high-fived me through time. 📚🙌

Screenshot of linked website – Student Data Cooperatives: Data Governance in Higher Education Thank you for your interest in our research. This research explores the idea of data cooperatives, which are groups where people collectively manage and control their data for mutual benefit. Specifically, it looks at students’ motivation and perspective on current data governance practices at the university and some alternatives, such as data cooperatives. Data cooperatives are voluntary, member-based organizations, where members pool their data together and manage it democratically for their own benefit.

Syria: Post-Assad Transition Should Center Human Rights
The ousting of Bashar al-Assad’s government by armed opposition groups has created a momentous opportunity for Syria to break with decades of repression and turn the page on human rights.

How do we learn about our legal rights & obligations? What if we're in a new place, in a different language?
These are some of the things I've been thinking about recently. Some initial thoughts in this post on @languageonthemove.bsky.social . Fascinating discussion in the comments!

Had a fantastic day at the AI Fairness event in Bologna! Inspiring speakers from academia and industry, fascinating conversations during the breaks, and a new book for the train ride home. I also received some great feedback on my poster and have a few exciting leads to follow-up!
A woman wearing glasses, a bright red sweater, and a white collared shirt is smiling in front of a research poster. The poster is titled, *"Insights about ‘representative data’ from a study on disability human rights in refugee contexts: Can data truly be representative without compromising autonomy?"* The poster includes sections on representative data, disability data in refugee contexts, and a framework for analysis, with text, diagrams, and visuals. The setting appears to be a conference or academic event, with the poster pinned to a light-colored wall.

So this venue is pretty amazing
A lecture hall with ornate, painted ceilings depicting classical architecture and nature scenes. The front of the room features a large projector screen displaying a presentation titled "AI Fairness: Addressing Bias, Stereotypes, and Discrimination in AI Systems." Attendees are seated in rows of chairs, and a few individuals are gathered near the stage area, which includes tables, a computer setup, and the Italian flag. Natural light filters in through tall windows on both sides of the room.

'By applying DisCrit, this Comment shows that these violations are systemic, embedded within an ableist and racist privacy regime that inherently devalues the privacy of marginalized individuals.'

People from elsewhere in Australia, and indeed many Melburnians, seem to think we have a world class transport system. Enduring accessibility issues across the network mean it remains unfit for a serious 21st century city www.abc.net.au/news/2024-11...
Melbourne's tram network has an accessibility mismatch
Half of Melbourne's tram routes aren't serviced by accessible trams. And even if they were, many stops are no use to wheelchair users.

The 'voluntary' diversity questions in HR systems feel contradictory. The 'required' asterisk (*) feels wrong, especially when the page claims participation is 'voluntary.'
At least this organisation includes an 'I prefer not to say' option—something many forget. It still feels uncomfortable.
The image displays a series of diversity-related survey questions with asterisks indicating required fields. The questions are as follows: "Which of the following best describes your gender identity? *" "Gender assigned at birth *" "Is your gender identity the same as the sex you were assigned at birth? *" "What is your sexual orientation? *" "What is your ethnicity? *" "Which of the following terms best describes your religious beliefs? *" "Do you consider yourself to have a disability? *" "Please select your age category from the below *" Each question is listed individually with clear spacing between them.
