Talks@Tandem #1: Digital Public Goods and Playgrounds in India by Arun Sukumar

This is the first session of Talks@Tandem - our monthly speaker series where we invite researchers to present their recent, published or unpublished work, analysing India's technology and society transitions. We envision this as a space for deep, foundational conversations about some of the most pressing technology policy issues of our time. Each talk will be followed by comments by 1-2 discussants that have reviewed the paper beforehand.   The first speaker in our series is Arun Sukumar, a PhD Candidate at The Fletcher School, and a volunteer at iSPIRT. He is the author of Midnight’s Machines: A Political History of Technology in India, published by Penguin RandomHouse (India) in 2019.  Arun will be presenting a new paper, part of a series published by iSPIRT, titled Designing Digital Public Goods and Playgrounds in India: The Need for Theoretical and Contextual Analysis. Please find the abstract of the paper at the end of this email.  Balaji Parthasarathy will be joining Arun as a discussant. Balaji is a Professor at the International Institute of Information Technology, Bangalore (IIITB), and a founding member of the Institute's Center for Information Technology and Public Policy (CITAPP). His interests broadly focus on the relationship between technological innovation, economic globalization, and social change. For more visit https://tandemresearch.org
