Dear team,
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
Here's my bit from last week up to Monday:
- completed the CPDP paper submission with Jonas and Stefi's support;
goes attached.
- *reviewed literature *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)
- reviewed and sent feedback of Matteo's blogpost and Stefi's article on
human-data interaction;
- 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
- 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 :)
- apart from the meeting with Ray on wednesday, I participated to the
meeting with Framer Framed, of which Meg told you already;
- 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.
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 :)
Best,
Giulia
