DESCRIPTION:There is growing scholarly and industry concern with a thing c
 alled data. I argue that the question of data is fundamentally a feminist 
 question. In this talk I draw on the work of feminist thinkers to take up 
 the 'creepy glitch' as a framework to illuminate techno-masculinist normat
 ivities in data systems\, and to find opportunities for disruption. In one
  example from my research on digital dating apps in Mumbai\, the political
  category of the 'creep' emerges as a glitchy figure to keep away from the
  digital spaces of dating. In a second example from my research on the pla
 tform economy of domestic work in New Delhi\, the glitch emerges as a cree
 py failure of the economy to take off\, despite the odds. Through these ex
 amples\, I argue that the 'creepy glitch' embodies a politics of refusal o
 f (big) data systems that bring phenomena into being\, that overestimate a
 nd that marginalise. It helps us reimagine erratum\, corrections to the ma
 chine\, against the grain of violent data systems.\nSpeakers:\nDr Kavita D
 attani (The Oxford Internet Institute)
