Data centers are everywhere these days, so what better time to announce that @melhogan.bsky.social, @dustinedwards.bsky.social and I are expanding our #CriticalDataCenterStudies article into a book at @routledgebooks.bsky.social! Here’s our article for a teaser: journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....
The interdisciplinary field of Critical Data Center Studies has sprung up in recent years, drawing on the environmental humanities, and the anthropology and sociology of data centres, although there are as yet few signs of this important research impacting policy and practice. Not all scholars in this field appear to have appetite for attempting to impact policy and practice. 24/7 hourly matching deserves more attention from Critical Data Centre Studies.
