[Air-L] Article on data imaginaries

[Sananda Sahoo]

Dear all,

An article that had been in the works for a long time just dropped in the
ether:

https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/bjhs-themes/article/biometric-datas-colonial-imaginaries-continue-in-aadhaars-minimal-data/2A70115E83C9C9D8CD440D683EF05287

I discuss and argue how data imaginaries develop and are used to justify
data analysis methods and, at times, governance through a couple of
specific cases. I hope you will find it an interesting and useful read.

It does take a village to raise an article. I am grateful to all who helped
me along the way.

Have a lovely evening,

Sananda
