“In all of these neighborhoods we had people who “In all of these neighborhoods we had people who were Spanish speakers. Spanish as their first language. And lots of people on the street also preferred to speak in Spanish. By going out and doing those interviews, anyone who knew Spanish was pushed automatically up to be a leader because they needed to be the ones to translate. So there were students who had been silent in the classroom, and then all of a sudden, they were authentically needed and that was an opening of the curtain.” Professor of Mathematics Education Laurie Rubel discusses City Digits, a New York City based educational project to engage minoritized students in thinking about and using math in their local contexts. Read the full interview at the Data Feminism publication on Medium. Link: https://medium.com/data-feminism
“I left it open-ended like that in the article b “I left it open-ended like that in the article because I did not study it. But I did start writing down all the ways that women worked with me, and realized about half the people I worked with were women. One criticism of Indigenous mapping projects is that they are often mostly men working with men. But that wasn’t my experience with this project.” New interview with Indigenous cartographer Margaret Pearce on the ups and downs of making the 'Coming Home to Indigenous Place Names Map of Canada'. Link in bio for the full interview that’s up on the #DataFeminism pub. Data Feminism - the book - is now available to purchase from @mitpress https://medium.com/data-feminism

“We began by just mapping evictions in San Franc “We began by just mapping evictions in San Francisco that had taken place beginning in the first Dot Com Boom and extending into the present. But we have since wanted to create maps that could show deeper histories of racialized dispossession, colonialism and events that have kind of laid the bedrock for the contemporary displacement crisis to be what it is.” Read our full interview with Erin McElroy, co-founder of @antievictionmap, about using data to fight for housing justice at #DataFeminism on Medium and pre-order today from @mitpress! https://medium.com/data-feminism

“People are using the data to mystify the soluti “People are using the data to mystify the solutions when we know what the solutions are. This is where data has served a purpose, but there’s an important tipping point that we have passed, and now it is just contributing to a deficit narrative where Black women need to be saved. White people are like, “How can we save Black women?” And that’s not the solution that we need the data to produce.” Read the full interview with Kimberly Seals Allers - @iamksealsallers - in which she talks about deficit narratives, health disparities, and her new app @TheIrthApp - on Medium and pre-order #DataFeminism from @mitpress. https://medium.com/data-feminism
“What became clear to me as I moved from the int “What became clear to me as I moved from the interviews to actual comments on social media was: I didn't know what young people were saying, period. Because the language was so localized. So it became really clear to me that we needed to create a new approach to social media data that could really grasp culture, context and nuance.” We interviewed Dr. Desmond Patton (@upton_patton), founder of the SAFELab at Columbia University, for #DataFeminism (forthcoming from @mitpress).

“We would tell people, ‘We’re doing an atlas “We would tell people, ‘We’re doing an atlas on women.’ And they would look kind of blank, and they’d say, ‘Uh, but what would you put in it?’ They just couldn’t imagine how you could map anything on women.” We spoke with feminist geographer Joni Seager about The Women’s Atlas, mapping women’s issues, and pushing data beyond the gender binary for #DataFeminism.

“I feel really proud that we could contribute to “I feel really proud that we could contribute to a whole rethinking of fairness in algorithms, and I think that the impact of that will be so widespread that it won’t be measurable really. It will be a whole new approach to fairness, which I think is incredible, and it’s something I’m really proud of.” Data journalist Julia Angwin spoke with @proleptic and I about her groundbreaking story on algorithmic bias, being a woman reporter, and her new investigative outfit @the.markup for #DataFeminism (forthcoming from @mitpress).

New content coming every Friday, so watch this space❗️ https://medium.com/data-feminism/about ////// Data Feminism is a new way of thinking about data science and data ethics that is informed by the ideas of intersectional feminism. Today, data science is a form of power. It has been used to expose injustice, improve health outcomes, and topple governments. But it has also been used to discriminate, police, and surveil. This potential for good, on the one hand, and harm, on the other, makes it essential to ask: Data science by whom? Data science for whom? Data science with whose interests in mind?
