Research Interests

Broadly, my research lies at the intersection of data, development, and the city. My research project contributes to scholarly understandings of data justice and the ways in which it can be supported in the context of open data initiatives in South Africa (with implications for other cities in the global South). Focusing on open data in Cape Town, one of the first municipal open data initiatives in the global South, I ask how access to knowledge and the benefits of open data can be more equitably distributed in conditions of extreme inequality.
