The real risk isn’t only external. It’s perceptual. Once outsiders frame Indigenous lands as “unused” or “available”... the floodgates open. Extraction begins with narratives.
Perception is protection. 🌿

The image contains a promotional graphic for an upcoming event. The graphic is primarily text-based with a clean white background. The text reads: “ISOC India Mumbai Chapter, an ICANN at Large Structure, presents Women in Technology Leadership event. Geopolitics of Knowledge: Who Shapes What We Know Online? with Rohini Lakshané, Researcher, Technologist, and Wikimedian; Fellow at Factor Daily. Every search, every click, and every story we read online shapes what we know and how we think. In a world where technology quietly decides what becomes visible, how do we reclaim knowledge as something that belongs to everyone?. Join us for a special Women in Tech conversation with Rohini Lakshané as we explore how power, policy, and digital design influence the flow of information, and how women are redefining the Internet as a more open, inclusive, and human space. Date: 26 October 2025 Time: 6:00 PM IST | 12:30 PM UTC. Be part of this inspiring conversation on women shaping the future of technology, policy, and knowledge online. Do register for the event”.

Yours truly is speaking virtually at this #ISOC event on October 26. DM or email me for the registration link.

Speaking into Dissonance Foreign Language Learning, Cognitive Dissonance, and Epistemic Plurality

Learning a foreign language is more than words—it’s training in epistemic resilience. Speaking into dissonance teaches us to live with discomfort and embrace plurality.

The Silent Shadows Epistemic Clientelism and Plato’s Cave

If Plato’s Cave shows us shadows, what if those shadows are currency?

In my new essay, I read the Cave as a parable of epistemic clientelism, silence, and fiduciary authority.

This essay critically examines Andrew Knight’s celebratory blog post on the UK Civil Service’s policy design pavilion at the London Design Biennale, exposing underlying issues of epistemic gatekeeping, performative openness, and insufficient fiduciary accountability. While Knight frames the event as a demonstration of democratic participation and transparency through public engagement, closer analysis reveals superficial inclusivity and curated epistemic control. Drawing from my recent scholarship—specifically ‘Epistemic Gatekeepers and Epistemic Injustice by Design’ (2025) and ‘Directors’ Epistemic Duties and Fiduciary Openness’ (2025)—I argue that without transparent epistemic criteria, clear accountability mechanisms, and authentic democratic co-creation, such policy initiatives risk becoming mere spectacles rather than meaningful democratic exercises. To address these shortcomings, the essay proposes explicit solutions, including epistemic transparency, structured accountability frameworks, critical reflexivity, and genuine epistemic pluralism, offering a blueprint for achieving authentic democratic legitimacy in government policy design. Keywords epistemic justice, epistemic gatekeeping, fiduciary openness, democratic accountability, performative openness, policy design, public participation, epistemic transparency, critical reflexivity, democratic epistemology, co-creation, institutional accountability, epistemic pluralism, UK Civil Service, institutional reform, governance ethics, public sector innovation, knowledge equity, transparency, design thinking

My new essay critically analyses the UK Civil Service’s recent policy design pavilion, exposing performative openness and epistemic gatekeeping. Proposing solutions for genuine democratic accountability.
