Thank you. Continue. Thank you, Dominic. And it's a pleasure to be here with you. Obviously,

it would have been much more pleasure to be in the same room with you, but hopefully the

world is moving ahead. And this fall, we're all going to be back to normal in our classrooms.

So I'm Kristen Berg-Torresanvik. I have a PhD, or we call it an SJD from Harvard Law

School. And I have a dual appointment as a professor in legal sociology and humanitarian

studies. If there's something with my sound, you just tell me. So I work in a couple of

different fields. The last 15, 20 years, I've been working in humanitarian studies field

on gender based violence, refugee resettlement, and technology and innovation. And these things

have sort of all come together in a way, right? So the humanitarian system now actively uses

technology to try to deal with sexual violence. Every settlement is being sort of subjected

to algorithms to pick appropriate refugees. And the innovation regime has sort of broadened

out and then changed both how we talk about humanitarian aid, but particularly how we

think about data. So what I'm going to do today for you guys is to try to sort of tie

together a couple of questions that I've been working with lately, going back to my roots

as human rights activist, but also someone very interested in lawyering for social change.

So here is I'm going to share my oh, you have disabled screen attendees screen sharing,

so you need to give me host rights. Very sorry. Yes, I'm about to do it. One second, please.

I also tend to ritually, weekly forget that. Yeah, so now what you want. Excellent. Let's

try. Okay. So what I want to do now is to try to walk you guys through a couple of problems

that I'm thinking about. And I've been thinking about this from the side of the UN for a long

time. I've been involved in a lot of standard setting initiatives, for example, humanitarian

drones, a lot of ethics conversations, I worked as an ethics advisor for innovation labs in

the field. And this is kind of a very global work. So from an ethnographic perspective,

it's you know, it can never really be field work because you spend a bit of time in Jordan,

then you go and talk to someone in Nepal, and then you sit in an office in London. But it's

been very interesting to see how how this talk about technologies fuses or doesn't fuse

with rights and law. But I want to start with something completely different. And that's

to share with you. Just my appreciation for my supervisor, Sally Falck Moore, who died

last week. She was born in 1924. And back then you did law school very quickly. So in

1945, she showed up in Nuremberg, doing sort of legal work. Sally was Jewish. So this must

have been an incredible experience. And then she met with her spouse, lived in Africa for

a number of years. She's, you know, mainly famous, I think, for her concept of the semi

autonomous social field. But but for me, she was just this incredibly lovely person, I

was completely confused as a doctoral student. So, you know, I don't know if you see it in

legally blonde, but it's worse. I was, I was pretty intimidated. And she really kind of

held my hand and helped me get through grad school. So I just want to share this with

you. She's excellent woman. And she just had a lot of fun. So it's also life well lived,

you can be happy as an academic. So the roadmap for this talk, and you're recording this,

and I hope that this might be useful for for you guys and for students who are not in the

digital classroom here. So I'm going to talk through five points. The first one is on the

digital transformation of aid. So this is generally for the humanitarian field, but

specifically also for refugee protection. And of course, refugee protection is just

a tiny bit of the humanitarian sector. And then the second one is this about methodology,

you know, how do we actually research this digital transformation? Is it really a process

of change? Or is it something else? I'm writing two books at the moment. And one is called

is on the digital transformation of humanitarianism. And, and I'm really struggling with this,

right. So the conceptual contributions we need to make, how we can do fieldwork properly

in the future, and whether legal anthropology is kind of merging with digital anthropology

here. And then I've chosen to use data colonialism as kind of my way in today. This is a critical

concept that's pretty helpful to label, I think a lot of what's going on in the humanitarian
