Title: Information Access of the Oppressed: A Problem-Posing Framework for Envisioning Emancipatory Information Access Platforms
Abstract:
arXiv:2601.09600v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Online information access (IA) platforms are targets of authoritarian capture. We explore the question of how to safeguard our platforms while ensuring emancipatory outcomes through the lens of Paulo Freire's theories of emancipatory pedagogy. Freire's theories provide a radically different lens for exploring IA's sociotechnical concerns relative to the current dominating frames of fairness, accountability, confidentiality, transparency,
