@williams-r-b.bsky.social, @paultrautt.bsky.social, Kim Hajek & Rena Alcalay managed to put a great #interdisciplinary panel on #uncertainty in data-intensive #research #practices together for @ishpssb2025.bsky.social. As part of it, I discussed uncertainty in the context of #research #security.

The paper is part of the BD&S special theme "The technopolitics of interoperability in security, migration, and border control“, edited by Rocco Bellanova, Jan-Hendrik Passoth, and Silvan Pollozek.

How has this new data infrastructure of border control emerged as a point of contestation? How are claims and issues around interoperability articulated? How limited is the space for technopolitical intervention in the border regime?
(3/4)

The EU's interoperability initiative aims to reshape borders by linking personal and biometric data across migration/border/security databases—posing threats to privacy, human rights, and civil liberties. In this article, I explore the possibilities and limits of contesting this initiative. (2/4)

🌍🤝RDA and the @edinitiative.bsky.social join forces towards global responsible data sharing.

We pleased to announce that the Research Data Alliance (RDA) and the Ethical Data Initiative (EDI) are collaborating to promote responsible, inclusive, and ethical data practices worldwide.

we want to explore interoperability in the border regime as an example of how the digitization of borders and migration is driven by multiple—but also conflicting—rationales and ordering attempts.

@drkiarastorm.bsky.social and I have a new article out in International Migration on the multiple modes of ordering in the EU border regime that come with introducing interoperability btw databases of migration control. Open Access: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

A little report on our symposium on misinformation from last December is now available on the @4sweb.bsky.social Backchannels Blog! #philsci #sts 4sonline.org/news_manager...

Fresh off the (online) press: our new article with Annalisa Pelizza was published in @politicsandspace.bsky.social,where we ask how border registrations produce couplings of citizenship and territories.
