Let me know if there’s other channels you can think of! Specifically channels where we can reach a more general public audience (i.e,, I’ve used sites such as eventbrite before. I don’t know how effective it is but I’ve gotten sign ups for academic events I’ve
posted on there before).</div>

<a href="https://datagovlab.net/" data-outlook-id="f61297a1-ad44-40ec-93b0-d0a73ccf3559">DATAGOV</a> investigates regulatory data infrastructures: data-grabbing systems that actively shape the polity, from monitoring and automated decision-making to mediating
access to public services, rights, and welfare. The project, funded by the European Research Council (ERC), takes a comparative approach investigating the European Union, Brazil, India, and South Africa, to examine how these infrastructures transform governance
and what they mean for the future of democracy in an era of pervasive datafication. To start with, our empirical focus is on four technology families: biometrics, digital identity, and health and education technologies, and how these reconfigure citizenship,
sovereignty, and inequality. </div>

Spread across two days, the kickoff will feature workshops, keynotes, performances, and a borrel, bringing together a diverse group of participants from academia, policymaking, industry, civil society, and the arts. The event will also leave ample time for
conversation, (net)working, and enjoying each other’s company. All programming is free of charge.</div>
