The Love, Sex, and Data Conference
Online, 4.30-6 pm.
Abstract
This conference is organised by the YP Foundation and Agents of Ishq. Dr. Anja Kovacs is giving a talk titled 'Keh ke Lunga: Data as an Extension of the Body'.
If we think of data as an extension of the body that generates it, what does that do to the idea of consent? How does feminist thinking around sexual consent strengthen consent regimes in data protection? Such a journey is promising because of the close entanglements between our bodies and our data. This talk by Anja Kovacs will take listeners through current and familiar data practices and how they are related to our personhood.
