SELLEST OSAST
A PhD on Grindr? Yes, please! Dr Carl Bonner-Thompson (Brighton University) did just that and is an expert, not just on queer data, but also on queer geographies shaped by data and dating apps. Follow us into the gay matrix to learn about the everyday interactions of queer people with data, how data affects physical touch, in which ways tracking apps may reshape cruising spaces, and why Carl and I are into the same random dating dystopia TV series.

Questions you should be able to respond to after listening:
1.In which ways might queer people have to be more conscious about their everyday data use? Which examples does Carl give? Can you think of others?
2.What are haptic geographies?
3.Why are intersections of class, gender and sexuality relevant to queer data?
4.We talk about the representation of queer people’s interaction with data and identify two popular tropes. Which ones are these? Can you think of other ones?
5.How careful are you with your data?
