Dear SIGCIS community, This is a late-stage call for SIGCIS participants. Would anybody like to be part of a roundtable with me on ‘computing beyond carbon’ at the SIGCIS meeting? Initial description below. I am excited to get to re/connect with folks who are working on *any* dimension or interpretation of this general topic. If you are interested in this topic, please do reach out. Some of my own research is still in the seedling stage so no need to have a perfect thesis (if those exist). Thank you, Theo 🌱 computing beyond carbon A roundtable discussing the relationships between computing, computational resource control, and carbon power. Rooted in over two centuries of technologies built for carbon control, today’s Net Zero campaigns represent a dangerous preoccupation with data manipulations, carbon trading, and carbon control technologies that can distract from justice-centered climate futures. Digital carbon trading is a growing enterprise, which functions at the nexus of digital waste (including carbon emissions) and financial computing. This roundtable includes participants working on the relationships between carbon and computing across historical and geographical contexts. -- Theodora Dryer, PhD she/her https://www.theodoradryer.com/ Water Justice + Technology <https://ainowinstitute.org/water-justice-technology.html> @AI Now Institute and @CIEJ Big Data Stream <https://logicmag.io/kids/big-data-stream/>@Logic Magazine
