Akshita Sivakumar is a designer and
social scientist. Her work focuses on technoscience at the
confluence of environmental governance and social movements to
analyze the socio-spatial production of difference in
justice-oriented efforts involving the state, market, and civil
society. She combines ethnographic and critical-making methods to
analyze the politics of representation, knowledge production,
labor, and solidarities. Her current research and book project
examines how computational technologies mediating environmental
governance and environmental justice in California produce
material and discursive differences and how social movement
actors align with and contest these processes and outcomes.
