<p>Dear team, </p>
<p>I hope everyone is doing well, and that the workshop people are
having a good and fruitful time, I look forward to hearing about
it</p>
<p>Here's my bit from last week up to Monday:</p>
<p>- completed the CPDP paper submission with Jonas and Stefi's
support; goes attached.</p>
<p>- <b>reviewed literature </b>on the Brazilian Digital Health
strategy, particularly on the potentialities and concerns, the
framework and applications; this is my entry point for my
postdoctoral project, and in the next months it will take shape
into an empirical paper in Portuguese (co-authored with the
Brazilian research group I collaborate with, based on interviews)
and a paper which I would like to co-author with one or more
people from DATAGOV on health data infrastructures across
countries (maybe a theoretical paper or a comparative policy
analysis?) or across technologies within the same context (eSUS
and CIN?) also depending on what others will be working on; a
working draft goes attached, just FYI (sorry, in PT)</p>
<p>- reviewed and sent feedback of Matteo's blogpost and Stefi's
article on human-data interaction;</p>
<p>- worked on the Infrastructural Inequalities blogpost - which I
am still correcting, as I am fairly unsatisfied; I must admit I
feel very rusty in writing something else than a paper and I guess
I struggle with finding my voice, but I am not too far from
finishing</p>
<p>- two people from the DMI project responded positively to an
email where we invited them to work on a paper together, roughly
based on the DMI project; Paul and Nicola will work in,
respectively, South Africa and Italy to investigate the
digitalization of public infrastructure, with a focus on digital
IDs and an art-based/qualitative approach. I am not sure how this
collaboration may take shape, it is definitely something to
discuss also with Sruthi and Matteo as I wouldn't want this work
to obstruct their pilot and phd project; suggestions are welcomed
:) <br>
<br>
- apart from the meeting with Ray on wednesday, I participated to
the meeting with Framer Framed, of which Meg told you already;</p>
<p>- finally, on Monday I went to the Affective Learning training
for teachers; what I found interesting for DATAGOV is that their
toolbox for teaching could actually be an useful resource to do
team-building and co-creation activities (maybe at the retreat?).
I could look into it if it sounds interesting.<br>
<br>
This week I am finishing the post and I have to submit my PhD
thesis to the university of co-tutelle to obtain the double-degree
- which also gives me the opportunity to revise the manuscript and
prepare a first draft for INC; in this regard, I am finishing up
the GDC application for funding + I secured some funding from my
PhD to pay the work of an amazing publishing team (Geert Lovink,
Anielek Niemyjski, and Mela Miekus, all from INC). The book will
come out in June as Theory on Demand volume (if I don't burnout
before then :)<br>
<br>
Best, <br>
Giulia</p>

<b>Subject: </b>[DATAGOV Core] weekly check-in: going digital

Dear all, this week we skipped our check-in moment. Check-ins
are important for a variety of reasons: it is fun to know what
everyone has been up to, and it is a great occasion to create
synergies and ask for feedback or support. And, importantly,
at the more individual level, it allows each of us to take
stock of everything we did in just one week: a well-deserved
pat-on-the-back moment. In the busy life of academia, we
rarely make room for acknowledging and celebrating progress
(even when small), and focus almost exclusively on what’s left
to do (always too much). Finally, we are a group and it is our
chance to bringing to life the group, even when each of us is
working in different tasks and even locations. </div>

have over there this academic year. It is of relevance

working on now is entitled "The Datafied Citizen:
Agency, Identity, and Belonging in the Datafied State</span>”<span style="font-size: 16px;">. The good news is that I am
writing down these talks, and at the end I will have a
nice substantive story to share, maybe as a Working
