Some of these “other networks” include: microb roadcasting\, barbed wire fence phones\, and imaginary networks. Emerson ’s work highlights the fact that the corporate-dominated internet is “ not the network we want not the network we deserve.” Therefore\, her wor k aims to demystify how other networks work and make this knowledge more a ccessible (especially for people with no background in tech / electronics) “so that we may begin to reimagine what might be possible in the future .”\n\n​Questions relevant to the Metagov community might include: how did you get started studying "other networks?" How can we apply what we le arn from studying these alternative networks to our present day challenges regarding internet governance? What are some of the most interesting\, in novative\, effective\, inspiring\, creative governance systems for these n etworks?\n\nRegister for this seminar on Luma: https://luma.com/4kfjgd6a\n LOCATION:https://researchseminars.org/talk/Metagov/263/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
