After spending a year in reflection and intense discussion, Kontinentalist is starting a new chapter with a new mission. How do we tell data stories ethically? How do we decolonise data storytelling? What does it mean to draw on indigenous knowledge?

Quick question: How many research papers have you actually read over the past year?

[Lapis @LapisStory]

Based on our latest poll and feedback from the Lapis Live event, most people don’t read research papers—too dense, too long. That’s why we built Lapis, a no-code tool to turn your important research into engaging stories.

I’m in Stockholm for a little bit these weeks! Would anyone be up for a ☕️?

[Peiying Loh @hellopeiying]

In the coming months @kontinentalist_ and @LapisStory will be sharing at various events of our developing methodology that brings us back to the basics:

What is data? What is a visualisation? What is AI? What is a story? How do we make sense of these ethically?

[Peiying Loh @hellopeiying]

I’ve come to the end time at @UoE_EFI studying an MSc in Data, Inequality and Society! My life has completely changed this year, and I'm grateful for this opportunity thanks to the @CheveningFCDO.

[Peiying Loh @hellopeiying]

I’ve learnt so much in my time here about data, ethics, coloniality, and what it means to adopt a decolonial approach to our work at @kontinentalist_ . I’m excited to share that I’ve returned to full-time work last week. I’ve missed this sorely.

This is what Singaporean/Malaysian solidarity sometimes looks like: I lost my voice and @KevinWee90 brought me his own bottle of nin jiom #outlier2024

[Peiying Loh @hellopeiying]

[Peiying Loh @hellopeiying]

Day 1 of #Outlier2024 is a wrap! Would have taken more notes and posted more if not for terrible jet lag. Lesson learnt for the next one — don’t fly in just the day before if you’re going across timezones!
