Digital Racism

The Re-Shaping of Consent, Privacy, Knowledge and Notions of the Public

New!

From: Unravelling Research

$2.90

In Chapter 9 author Anne O’Connell focuses on how corporate practices of digital data management intersect with academic research in ways that sidestep ethical institutional safeguards and rules related to confidentiality, risk and informed consent. The chapter explores topics including access to knowledge, “public domain”, transnational corporations, digital data collection, and privacy, private-public distinctions, consent, confidentiality and, ultimately, knowledge.

Anne O’Connell

Anne O’Connell is an associate professor in the School of Social Work, York University. Her work focuses on the colonial histories of poverty and connections to racial slavery, land theft, and genocidal/assimilationist polices that shore up white settler societies. Her research looks at how contemporary turns toward multiculturalism, apologies, and (informed) consent practices in institutions and government policies provide coherence to, and the entrenchment of, racial neoliberal capitalism.
