2) "The case for digital degrowth" : Keynote by Neil Selwyn, Monash
University, Australia:
https://conf.researchr.org/track/ict4s-2024/ict4s-2024-keynotes
It is increasingly argued that we are approaching the point of ‘peak
digital’, with the continued mass production and excessive consumption
of digital technologies set to become a key driver of climate crisis,
ecological breakdown and ongoing societal instability. In this talk,
Neil Selwyn explores how degrowth thinking and alternate forms of
‘radically sustainable computing’ might support ambitions of
sustainable, scaled-down and equitable ways of living with digital
technologies. Drawing on the latest thinking from across the social
sciences, ecological economics, political ecology, environmental
justice, and computer sciences, Neil argues that degrowth thinking
offers a compelling basis from which to completely rethink our digital
futures in these fast-changing times.
3) Zine "Liminal Excavations" (including my contribution, in personal
capacity) :
A zine that explores alternative visions, ideas and critiques on the
topic of sustainability and ICT https://doi.org/10.21428/57a7f7a7.5d685a20 *
