Today, we will discuss digital sovereignty, and how scholars from the Global South engage platforms distributing academic work, as well as the platforms hosting other forms of labor. We will talk about how translation into multiple languages impacts the way that scholarship and journals are perceived, and also about the open data movement and academic research climate in Brazil and other Global South countries.
