Do our tools for knowing about the world actually obscure important knowledge?
This book uncovers how knowledge infrastructures--including satellite tracking, climate models, machine learning and citizen science apps--shape our understanding of contemporary crises. Rooted in logics of resource assessment, these systems often reinforce extractive thinking, even when intended to protect.
Beaulieu calls for a radical focus on relations to reimagine liveable futures: from monitoring and measuring to fostering connection, care and interdependence.
Drawing on science and technology studies and feminist critique, this book offers tools for transforming data practices, designing more responsive interfaces and building better infrastructures of survival.
