Preference will be given to proposals that critically engage research data systems, technologies, and practices that are traditionally considered neutral. The committee challenges presenters to think about these research data issues in the context of systems
of oppression and exclusion (including but not limited to racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and classism), labor and hierarchies, and capitalism and profit models. Presenters are invited to examine how services, practices, and technology
can marginalize or disenfranchise communities, interrogate the implicit or explicit values that inform our choices, or highlight the work being done to create and sustain inclusive communities.<br>
