Shifts and Tensions in the Political Ecology of Subsea Networks #2
Comments
|
Hi everyone! Thank you for submitting a proposal to Our Networks 2047! We are currently re-working our issue template and website to make sure the format for this year's event is clear, since it's a little experimental :) We are not hosting a conference, at least not where people actually present talks and workshops, but instead facilitating the creation of a wiki about a conference that could take place in 2047. We will use proposals made here to pre-seed the wiki with a "conference schedule". Between Nov 14 and 27, we will host a series of online writeathons, where we will make space for you to informally introduce your idea and expand on it yourself or with others Just commenting directly here, because you opened this issue before the updates! We're sorry if the previous website copy or template was unclear - we would love to have your proposal be part of the wiki, and join you in conversation and co-writing! |

Thanks for the clarification! We were indeed a bit confused. But we're nevertheless excited to join for wiki conversation and co-writing (and might end up drafting that longer conference paper from the future for our own/different purposes).
Warmly,
Anne

Description
Type: streamed talk
Length: 30 minutes
Date: between November 14-27
Duration: once
Language: english
Objective
We'd like to detail struggles over the political ecology of data, focusing specifically on the link between the geographies of renewable energy and the emergence of network hubs in the telecommunications subsea cable system.
We'll specifically outline:
Presenter(s)
We are a team of researchers from the Sustainable Subsea Networks team, an Internet Society-funded project examining the potential role of the subsea telecommunications cables industry in decarbonizing the Internet. We would like to present as a group with our real names (in 2047, we would be getting old, but imagine ourselves still very much engaged by our present research questions).
