New Purple Code Episode with Elisa Lindinger

Our research group head, Bianca Herlo, co-hosts a podcast titled Purple Code alongside Sana Ahmad and Lena Ulbricht. The podcast explores intersectional feminist perspectives on digital societies. In the latest episode, they engaged in a conversation with Elisa Lindinger, co-founder of SUPERRR Lab, where she develops visions and projects aimed at creating more equitable and just futures.

Elisa is co-founder of SUPERRR, a lab for feminist futures that Elisa founded together with Julia Kloiber. SUPERRR deals with traditional questions of digital rights and understands feminism as inherent intersectional feminism. Our guest Elisa works to create a base where different expertise can come together and have fruitful conversations about digital, but also social justice issues. In this episode, she talks about how to practice and establish a “thinking about the future” that helps policy makers shape visions and laws that do not harm those who are already disadvantaged, but benefit us all. Elisa and her colleagues provide methods on how to address digital rights issues in a world of massive inequalities. She asks: How can we bring in our own narratives and define our own playing field? For Elisa, digital policy must be framed as social policy, and this is a crucial factor.
