RUNOMI, together with Radboud AI, will be hosting a seminar on digital non-use as agentic strategy of resistance and resilience in the context of socially marginalized populations. Keynote lecture by Prof. Arul Chib’s (Erasmus University Rotterdam) presents empirical evidence on varied global communities facing societal and digital discrimination, ranging from transgender sex work and forced migration. A conceptual framework for digital non-use is offered to provoke discussions on the potential of socio-structural transformation driven by the experiences of those on the margins rather being centrally mandated. A second provocation concerns debates on the effectiveness of invisibility and silence as a catalyst or subREversion of agency.
