What's Trust Got To Do With It? | 'Trust Issues' Workshop Public Panel

In a conversation moderated by D&S Principal Researcher Sareeta Amrute, panelists Chelsea Peterson-Salahuddin, Irene Solaiman, and Jason D’Cruz discussed how practitioners, theorists, and community members approach the fraught issue of trust inside and outside institutions. Together, they considered how legacies of racism, dehumanization, refusal, and opacity inform trust — how it operates, and fails to operate, in data-centric spaces. They also discussed trust’s typical framing as a normative construct, as well as the meaning of mistrust and its consequences for vulnerable communities.
