Canisius alumna Jasmina Tacheva, PhD (2010, BA, Philosophy, German, Economics), currently Assistant Professor at Syracuse University’s School of Information Studies, and Tanya Loughead, PhD (Professor in the Department of Philosophy) co-authored an article titled, “Justice Informatics, Justice for Us All: Liberation from Techno-Ideology.”
Their article was published in The Oxford Handbook of Media and Social Justice (Oxford University Press, 2024).
This book recently won the 2025 NCA Distinguished Scholarship Award for Best Edited Book. The article argues that the digital sphere intensifies deep-seated societal injustices, such as racism and gender violence, which makes it necessary to reject technological fixes and instead build collective movements that confront the deeper economic and social systems allowing these inequities to persist.
This is the fourth scholarly project that Loughead and Tacheva have collaborated on, with two more in the works.
