#MoreThanCode: Practitioners reimagine the landscape of technology for justice and equity (Research Action Design & Open Technology Institute report, 2018)

November 4, 2018

This report aims to include the voices of technology practitioners whose work is focused on social justice, the common good, and/or the public interest. Every day, technology practitioners in government agencies, nonprofit organizations, colleges and universities, libraries, technology cooperatives, volunteer networks, and social movement organizations work to develop, deploy, and maintain digital technology in ways that directly benefit their communities. These practitioners include software developers, designers, and project managers, as well as researchers, policy advocates, community organizers, city officials, and people in many other roles.

#MoreThanCode aims to make the voices of these diverse practitioners heard. The report’s goals are to

I. explore the current ecosystem;

II. expand understanding of practitioner demographics;

III. develop and share knowledge of practitioner experiences;

IV. capture practitioner visions and values; and

V. document stories of success and failure.

The report focuses primarily on practitioners who work in the United States.

A Feminist Action Framework on Development and Digital Technologies (APC Issue Paper, 2017)

September 24, 2018

Through a feminist lens that brings together economic justice and gender justice concerns, this paper traces the key elements of the right to access, right to knowledge and right to development in the network society context. It highlights how this three-pronged approach to scoping the “right to communicate” can serve as a guiding framework for feminist analysis and action at the intersections of gender, digital technologies and development.

The paper outlines strategic directions for feminist advocacy in relation to information and communications technologies (ICTs), at different scales and spaces – global, national and local.
