We invite papers that interrogate technological norms and infrastructures through lenses of refusal, repair, improvisation, community expertise, or decolonial epistemologies. Submissions may be theoretical, methodological, historical, speculative, or practice-based. We welcome partial, fragmentary, or broken work that uses disruption as method.
Presentation Length with Questions: 12–15 minutes
