Congrats to D&S affiliate Upol E. and alum Matt Goerzen!
The Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University is thrilled to announce an extraordinary cohort of incoming fellows for the 2024-2025 academic year. The group’s expertise and interests range from AI’s role in children’s development, neuropsychiatry, and political theology; to the link between digitization and populist movements; to the changing landscape of internet censorship. Coming this fall to Cambridge, MA, the cohort will gather together for dialogue, shared learning, and participation in BKC’s public programming. Congratulations to those selected!

We’re hiring for a brand new position at Data & Society: a research and reference librarian.

In this new report, D&S Research Analyst Joan Mukogosi considers a question often overlooked when considering solutions to the Black maternal health crisis: How might digital technologies meant to improve health outcomes for Black birthing people be producing new forms of harm? In the US, Black birthing people face disproportionately high rates of pregnancy-related deaths. At the same time, many of the most prominent interventions in birth-related care rely on forms of intensified data collection. This reliance on data comes with considerable risks, including its incorporation into carceral systems that monitor, constrain, and discipline Black individuals — a risk exacerbated by a post-Dobbs climate of increasingly restrictive reproductive health policies. In this context, Establishing Vigilant Care puts the risks of digital health technologies at the forefront of considerations about where, how, and by whom maternity care is delivered to Black birthing people.
