📢Thrilled to finally introduce ✨the Data Workers' Inquiry ✨our 15 community researchers ✨and the repository! This is a long thread and a reminder to join an event that will challenge what you know about data work: data-workers.org/events/ July 8, 5 pm CET/11 am EST, 1/x🧵👇

The Data Workers' Inquiry is a community-based research project where 16 data workers from 4 continents develop and delve into distinct research questions alongside their co-workers. Each inquiry has a specific format, ranging from reports and zines over podcasts to documentaries

✨Besides introducing the project and its protagonists, July 8 also marks the start of an exciting series of panels where we'll present the inquiries and discuss key questions about data work with the authors. Don’t miss it!

📢Thrilled to announce the launch of the✨Data Workers' Inquiry✨repository and talk series! Join us on July 8 for an online event where data workers will discuss wage theft, violent content, uncertainty, and their efforts to organize and resist. RSVP here tinyurl.com/data-workers
