Algorithmic Climate Governance: Reproducing hegemony or radical transformation?
Dr. Ruth Machen is a Lecturer in Urban Planning at Newcastle University (UK), researching the political implications of digital technologies in climate change governance. A human geographer by background, with former policy experience, her work draws from empirical research in the UK and USA on the use of digital models, platforms and interfaces in the making of climate policy. Focusing on unpacking the politics of knowledge at the climate science-policy interface, she draws from environmental governance scholarship, postfoundational political theory, and critical digital scholarship in human geography and STS. She has also contributed to debates on research impact and the role of critical scholarship in societal transformations.

Digital futures with civic tech initiatives and their relationship with narratives on environmental issues and civic participation

Planning a Just Transition from Coal in India: Digitisation of Data and the Possibility of Subversions in Mineral Resource Governance
Prof. Radhika Krishnan, Ph.D. is an Assistant Professor with the Human Sciences Research Group, IIIT Hyderabad, India. She has been working in the broad domain of political ecology and technology studies for the past two decades. An electrical engineer by training, her interest in studying the interface between technological regimes, local communities and ecologies led her to shift her research focus to the social sciences. During her tenure at IIIT she has been working on the ways in which digital tools can be integrated into research on issues around mineral extractions, specifically coal. Currently she is collaborating with colleagues from Sweden, Australia and the UK on two projects on 'Just Transitions' in India.
