Queer Data Days
A Wikidata Gender Diversity Project Event
15 & 16 March 2024 at 14:00 - 19:30 GMT
A two-day virtual event hosted on the Zoom platform
The Wikidata Gender Diversity <https://wigedi.com/> project is proud to present
Queer Data Days, a two-day virtual event hosted on the Zoom platform.
The aim of the event is to provide an opportunity for researchers, activists,
and artists investigating or applying queer approaches to data and technology to
meet in an open and inclusive venue, share their latest work, and engage in
fruitful discussion.
During the event, speakers with different backgrounds — both academic and non-
academic — will share short papers on a broad range of topics including queer
data, queer identities, queer language, data justice and power, queer design,
and queer communities on digital platforms.
The event will be held on Friday the 15th and Saturday the 16th of March 2024,
from 2:00pm to 7:30pm GMT<https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1710511200>. The first
day will be primarily centred on the Wikimedia ecosystem. Both days will include
presentations about the outcomes of the Wikidata Gender Diversity project.
The event is convened by Daniele Metilli (University College London), Chiara
Paolini (KU Leuven), Beatrice Melis (University of Pisa & Gran Sasso Science
Institute), and Marta Fioravanti (oio.studio), and organised by Ciara Adeniyi-
Jones (University College London).

Digital Research Infrastructure: What’s In It For ME?
A Symposium on Thursday 11 April 2024
11.00-17.45
Maastricht University, Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences
Grote Gracht 90-92, 6211 SZ Maastricht, The Netherlands

Digital research infrastructure is prevalent, ubiquitous, and seemingly
ever-changing. At the same time, infrastructure - as long as it is
functional - tends to be invisible. Hence, infrastructure (and the work
needed to create and maintain it) often appears undervalued. Some of it
is supplied by traditional infrastructures such as libraries. Others are
disciplinary in the form of research projects, built and managed by the
researchers or research communities that they serve.
Many of us in the Global North are lucky enough to live in countries in
which infrastructure recedes into the background until it does not
function (like when the electricity or the wifi goes out) or there is a
problem with the plumbing. But the creation of research infrastructure
need not, and we would argue, should not be invisibilised. This is not
least because of their normative entanglements with matters of fairness
and justice, in terms of accessibility and representation. The
(material) politics of infrastructure have also been examined in inter
alia science and technology studies and media studies. How it is
designed, the data it contains, the metadata, controlled vocabularies,
and data structures used, can make visible or occlude traditionally
marginalised voices, works, and individuals. This has profound
implications for the ways in which we can carry out our research. And
with the increasing availability of big data archives, issues of
transparency, openness, and replicability become more acute. Thus as
digital research infrastructures facilitate a greater and greater degree
of our scholarship, as well as our students’ research, there is a strong
argument for researchers to be more involved in their creation.
Join us for this one-day symposium in which we will examine digital
infrastructures for the arts, humanities, and social sciences from not
only on a technical level, but equally importantly from feminist and
social justice frameworks, in terms of who designs the infrastructure
we use and how our institutions value and reward our contributions in
their creation.
Keynote addresses will be given by Dr Laura Mandell, Professor of
English at Texas A&M University who will speak on /Building
Infrastructures for the Future: the New Public Intellectuals /and Dr
Toma Tasovac, Director of the Belgrade Center for Digital Humanities
(BCDH) and Director of the pan-European Digital Research Infrastructure
for the Arts and Humanities (DARIAH) who will speak on H/ow Many
Humanists Does it Take to Build a Research Infrastructure? Navigating
the Challenges Technological and Cultural Change in Arts and Humanities/
Three Panel Discussions will round out the event, on Labs as
Infrastructure, on Digital infrastructures - What’s in it for me? And
the launch of the open-source #dariahTeach course Social Justice and the
Digital Humanities. The full programme is available here:
https://www.maastrichtuniversity.nl/file/digital-infrastructure-11-aprilpdf
There is no charge to attend the symposium and the welcome coffee,
lunch, and a closing reception are free. Please Join us for a
stimulating day with much opportunity for discussion by registering here
