Abstract: This editorial introduces the core message and contributions of the Special Issue on Feminist and Queer Approaches to ICT4D. We contextualize our Call for Papers and the published works against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic and the #MeToo and women's marches movements. We also place this Special Issue in the context of adverse digital incorporation, which characterizes present-day ICT4D research and further highlights the importance of a feminist and queer lens within its landscape. We develop a conceptual apparatus to articulate such a lens, integrating feminist and queer theory with views of data justice, algorithmic resistance, decolonial theorization, and the digital technologies in solidarity-making. Using this framework, we present the seven papers from this Special Issue, highlighting their synergies, but also their unique contributions to a feminist and queer view of ICT4D. We conclude with potential future research paths inspired by this Special Issue.
