The Technopolitics of Waiting
Many theorists of the information economy have argued that digitization has resulted in a “speeding up” of our experience of time (i.e. Gleick, 1999). This work contends that for many, especially those with less power, the techno-utopian vision characterized by datafication and Artificial Intelligence (AI) instead produces a state of prolonged waiting. Drawing from two long-term ethnographic studies examining the production and implementation pha…
Reparations of the horse? Algorithmic reparation and overspecialized remedies
In his seminal article, "Cyberspace and the Law of the Horse," Frank Easterbrook criticized the scholarly trend of developing overspecialized legal approaches to emerging technologies. Easterbrook argued that these approaches are confusing, shallow, and superfluous. Algorithmic reparation has emerged as a framework for addressing algorithmic systems' role in inequity and injustice. One understanding of algorithmic reparation is as a method for re…
After automation
People experiencing homelessness seek support from homeless services systems that increasingly rely on prioritization algorithms to determine who is the most deserving of scarce resources. In this paper, we argue that algorithmic harms in homeless services require a reparative approach that takes the data work of care workers seriously. Building on Davis, Williams, and Yang's concept of algorithmic reparation, we present a qualitative study that …

Homeless services systems provide unhoused individuals access to emergency shelter, subsidized housing, and other life-sustaining resources. In this paper, we present a qualitative study that draws on the experiences of fifteen social service workers to examine how recordkeeping practices sustain homeless services systems and unite a tangled web of institutions and actors, including public housing systems, nonprofit agencies, and local government…
