Summary
My project explores how digital technologies—like social media and AI—classify people and information, shaping power, politics, and inequality. It aims to reveal how classification impacts society and to inspire fairer, more transparent digital practices. Outcomes include new theoretical insights, international collaborations, and publications influencing both research and public debate.
