About The Digital Everyday:

The Digital Everyday brings a feminist lens to understanding the entanglements between bodies and technologies from a South Asian lens. Over a period of 10 weeks, you will learn about:

  • Body and its entanglements
  • Post-body
  • Post-tech
  • Technology Imaginaries
  • Data Bodies
  • Algorithmic Bodies
  • Networked Bodies
  • Archival Bodies
  • Material Technologies
  • Resistant Technologies
  • Intersectional Bodies 
  • The Everyday Digital 

What will you learn from The Digital Everyday?

The Digital Everyday proposes a feminist pedagogy shaped by principles of co-creation, collaboration, care, and critique. We offer 5 collective learning outcomes where you'll learn how to:

  1. Bear witness to the different technologies that are presented to us as natural, normal, neutral, and banal
  2. Articulate our relationship with digital technologies as critical actors and understand our role in tech-driven decision making
  3. Address technologies not as tools but as political and socio-technical practices, looking at larger questions of harm, justice, mitigation, agency, and power
  4. Intervene in a way that moves beyond critique, using feminist tactics of resisting, refusing, shaping, and reforming everyday digital practices
  5. Propose new possibilities that address questions of body, power, and social justice and look at technologies as embodied, political, and deeply implicated in the shaping of our futures

What will your learning journey look like? 

The Digital Everyday is built on the understanding of learning as a collective practice. You can choose between being a Resident (high intensity engagement), Learner (low intensity engagement at your own pace), and an Auditor (partial engagement).

Residents will participate in a process of Playlisting to find their own pathway into the learning resources, assisted by our Learning Partners, working individually at first and then working together in learning cohorts. These reflections will then be discussed in Action Labs: digital-first, live, deep-dive sessions, following which, Residents will complete a final assignment supported by AMA sessions with Knowledge Partners and calls with Learning Partners. 

Learners are self-driven participants who have access to all the materials and are not expected to commit 8 hours a week or follow a synchronous learning rhythm. They do not have access to learning calls or AMA sessions, but can participate in Action Labs subject to availability.

Auditors are partial engagement participants who are already familiar with the materials in the knowledge studios; they will be invited to join the deep-dive sessions, to workshop their ideas with the larger community and the Knowledge Partners. 

Who is The Digital Everyday for?

The Digital Everyday is curated specifically for activists, practitioners, policymakers, community organisers, artists, researchers, and students interested in exploring the data and rights landscape from a South Asian lens. We especially welcome applications from women, non-binary, queer and trans persons.

Is there a course fee? 

While Learners can access the course for free, The Digital Everyday has a differential fee structure set on a sliding scale, accounting for the location, context, and affordances of the Resident. Please refer to the structure below:

  • For Residents from the Global North - 15000 INR 
  • For Residents in the Global South - 8000 INR 
  • For Residents from non-OECD countries in the Global South - 3000 INR 
  • For all Auditors - 6000 INR

We are also offering a limited number of scholarships to a few Residents, based on the discretion of the organising team. If you are seeking a scholarship, please make sure to indicate it in your application.

Is there a selection process? 

The Digital Everyday is open to participants from different fields, experiences, and education levels. Since we have a limited number of seats, we will prioritise applications that reflect a strong interest in and desire to understand how gender intersects with the technology we use, or how the body is mediated through technology, specifically in the context of South Asia.

Timelines:

Applications close by 16 August 2024. If selected, you will be notified over email by 26 August 2024.

If you've still got questions, we’re happy to hear from you! Please send in your questions and thoughts to digitaleveryday@pointofview.org. Keep an eye out on Point of View's socials where we will also address some of your FAQs live in the coming weeks!
