Fellows Capstone Conversation: “Make a Way” | Lindsey Cameron with Sareeta Amrute

“I’ve always loved the term triple threat: someone who can do research, consulting, and teaching together, consulting being engaged with the world. I knew, yes, I want to be a triple threat. That’s been my steadiness, or my purpose, that I’ve held onto for a long time.” – Lindsey Cameron

“Creating your own terms for how you want to be in the world always has to be done in solidarity with others. That’s why I get so much from these conversations and the fellowship.” – Sareeta Amrute

Data & Society launched Race and Technology fellowships three years ago to recognize how important questions of race, and analogous concepts like caste, are to studying, developing, and using emerging technologies. This year’s fellows, Lindsey Cameron and Christina Harrington, convened interdisciplinary groups to talk through shared analysis and points of difference in their respective fields, devising nuanced ways to engage with the intersections of tech and race.

Recorded in April 2023.
