DATA WORKERS’ INQUIRY is a global, radically participatory research initiative spanning nine countries across five continents. Here, data workers themselves become community researchers, identifying urgent issues, formulating their own questions, and choosing the formats that best tell their stories: zines, documentaries, comics, essays, podcasts, and animations can be downloaded from the project repository.
For Data Workers‘ Inquiry, we created and developed Workers’ Inquiry as a Research Methodology or WIRM, a framework designed to turn hidden and precarious labor into a shared, politicized site for knowledge-making, public engagement, and tangible change.
