Development in India*

*Time:* November 30, 10am to 11:30am EST
*Abstract:* Information has fundamentally reshaped development discourse
and practice. This talk will examine the political implications of the idea
of information for poverty alleviation. Drawing on ethnographic and
archival research on three cases from India—the circulation of price
information in a fish market in Kerala, the provision of government
information in computer kiosks operated by a nonprofit in Puducherry, and a
political campaign demanding a right to information in Rajasthan—the talk
will counter claims that information is naturally and universally
empowering. It will demonstrate, instead, how the production and leveraging
of information -- and its very definition -- are shaped by caste, class,
and gender.
*Bio:* Janaki Srinivasan is Associate Professor, International Institute of
Information Technology Bangalore (IIITB), and the convenor of the
Institute’s Centre for Information Technology and Public Policy (CITAPP).
Her research examines the politics of information technology-based
development. Her work has shown how gender, class and caste shape Indian
digital inclusion initiatives focussed on community computer centres,
mobile phones, identity systems and open information systems. Currently,
she is exploring privacy, algorithmic control and fairness in platform
work. Janaki earned her PhD in Information Management and Systems from the
University of California Berkeley. The Political Lives of Information is
her first book.
