This preconference builds on discussions over the past two years under the aegis of the InterAsian Digitalities initiative at the Institute for Advanced Study in the Global South at Northwestern University in Qatar, part of the Arab Council for Social Sciences’ InterAsia Partnership. These include a conference on Southern Digitalities in March 2023 in Doha, Qatar, a two-day workshop in Beirut, Lebanon in May 2024, and a panel on “Southern Digitalities: Contestations, Labor, and Belonging across InterAsia” at ICA 2024. We are inspired by this year’s IAMCR theme and invitation to foreground notions of sustainability, justice, and the role of digital technologies in promoting and/ or challenging existing and emergent forms of social inequalities. Participants will include diverse scholars, at various career stages, from multiple disciplines and institutions, many in the Global South, who are conducting empirical research across ‘InterAsia,’ including West, East, South East, South West, or Central Asia, as well as offering research that reframes, contests, and reimagines the salience of these frames. The preconference will include carefully curated panels related to digital citizenship, data and environmental justice, national identification, belonging, access, and contested sovereignties in the context of current crises and increasing social, racial, gendered, national, ethnic inequalities.
