"…the volume brings together a provocative set of approaches to technologies of representation, considering mediation, voicing, witnessing, and accounting … Technologies of Human Rights Representation holds broad appeal as a collection for scholars in human rights studies, humanitarian professionals, and students of international relations and government. The contributors span a diverse array of disciplines, including political science, gender studies, English, and legal studies." — H-Net Reviews (H-Sci-Med-Tech)"…given the roaring impact of technology upon today's world, the book makes inroads on a topic of urgent interest." — CHOICE"This collection uniquely leverages the tripartite structure of technology, representation, and human rights to reveal that acknowledging these concepts' intertwined nature advances our understanding of each. The volume's diverse approaches also provide tremendous value. Along with 'key' high-profile topics—AI and ML, quantification, criminal justice—it includes less obvious ones like the representation of human rights in interactive Holocaust memorials and by way of sonnets. This is excellent work from people who represent high quality analysis in a diverse set of disciplines." — Brian H.
