In Fellowship: Capstone Conversation

Chaz Arnett,

Tamara K. Nopper,
Tiara Roxanne, and
Murali Shanmugavelan
in conversation with
Sareeta Amrute

Data & Society can set the table, but what really makes things shine, what makes for this incredible feast that we’ve all been partaking in, are the fellows. What happens when you bring fellows together who have rich, deep expertise and experience in race, caste, and indigeneity?

— Sareeta Amrute

In this conversation with Principal Researcher and Fellowship Director Sareeta Amrute, 2021 – 2022 Fellows Chaz ArnettTamara K. Nopper, and Murali Shanmugavelan, and Postdoctoral Researcher Tiara Roxanne reflect on their experience at Data & Society during the second year of a global pandemic.

They discuss how they built an intellectual and interpersonal community beyond the contexts of institutions and identities — by honing methods, expanding frameworks of understanding, developing curricula, curating panels, and swapping recipes.
