How researchers see this paper

The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Re-imagining Algorithmic Fairness in India and Beyond (2021, background): “A decolonial perspective (borrowed from Latin American and African scholars like [66, 70, 72, 134, 210]) helps us confront inequalities from colonisation in India, providing new openings for knowledge and justice in AI fairness research.”
Participatory Research for Low-resourced Machine Translation: A Case Study in African Languages (2020, background): “His-torically, many low-resourced languages had low demand from stakeholders for content creation and translation (Wa Thiong’o, 1992).”
Globalising Mental Health or Pathologising the Global South? Mapping the Ethics, Theory and Practice of Global Mental Health (2014, background): “This points to a wider need to decolonize the political economy of truth around distress, and the language through which we can talk about wellbeing; a project akin to the decolonizing of minds (Thiong’o, 1981).”
