Select talks and conference presentations

For me, conference talks are opportunities to think out loud, and panels are a space to be in conversation with others. Both are a privilege, of course! Here are a few examples:

A few other recorded and/or documented talks are listed below. Some were given collaboratively, others individually:

• “Mapping crises, communities and capitalism on OpenStreetMap” (State of the Map 2022 – Firenze, Italy)
• “Understanding Maintenance as a Turing Way” (FOSS Backstage 2023 - Berlin, Germany)
• “Untangling the frictions and cohesions between (digital) democracy and open source” (Geneva Graduate Institute 2024 – Geneva, Switzerland)
• Comparative perspectives on the human infrastructures behind open knowledge (Data Justice Conference 2023 – Cardiff, UK)

Here are some examples of and moderating discussions and workshops:

• The Alternative Education series (2025-ongoing): An ongoing collection of dialogues on non-traditional learning spaces, community-led knowledge production, and experimental pedagogies. Watch on Youtube
• The Turing Way Fireside Chat series (2022-2025): A recurring set of conversations bringing together practitioners, researchers, and community organisers working on open, ethical, and inclusive data science. Watch on Youtube
• Git for Good Github Workshop series (2022-2025): Building off of materials built by Kirstie Whitaker and Malvika Sharan, the Git Good workshop is a workshop for learning how to use the Github platform.
