This is exactly, to the heart what I wanted to communicate with my book. Many thanks @marielgm.bsky.social for engaging it, and for capturing its essence so profoundly! 🧡

Today’s read is @silviahedley.bsky.social’s Unfair ID! It’s been hard to know when to take notes because there is so much I will be citing, and so much that is beautifully written. A shoutout to @mariannedh.bsky.social @drsamaki.bsky.social in the acknowledgments and to @schock.cc in the theory 💕

And it all started at a fish restaurant in Rotterdam during SSN2022! Thank you for this beautiful journey!

It all happened during a flight from Amsterdam, it happened that @azadehakbari.bsky.social texted me “our book is out!” It happened that it was one of the most beautiful moments I have ever lived. Thanks dear Azadeh for doing this together, and all the fantastic contributors who made it possible!

Critical ICT4D written by a wonderful group of scholars and edited by @silviahedley.bsky.social and me is out and it's open-access with 11 chapters that reflect, problematise, and construct alternative trajectories for information and communication technologies in development contexts 🥳🎉So excited!
