Tune in Tuesday, August 18 at 2pm for Part II of @ Tune in Tuesday, August 18 at 2pm for Part II of @parkavearmory and @natblacktheatre’s “100 Years 100 Women” initiative, which asked a diverse group of more than 100 artists, activists, scholars, students, and community leaders (INCLUDING YOURS TRULY) to creatively respond to the centennial of the ratification of the 19th Amendment, which granted some women the right to vote.

WOMXN TAKE THE STREETS WEDNESDAY AUGUST 12TH, 202 WOMXN TAKE THE STREETS WEDNESDAY AUGUST 12TH, 2020 7:00 PM Currently, only 7% of the people commemorated in Cambridge’s street names are women. A fraction of these are women of color. Join us for an intergenerational conversation on how to create more just and equitable public spaces in Cambridge; where the lives and voices of Cambridge womxn are uplifted and our streets, monuments, and memorials better reflect the rich diversity of our city. Councillor E. Denise Simmons @e_denisesimmons Professor Catherine D'Ignazio, Director of the MIT Data + Feminism Lab MIT @mitdusp and Harvard Urban Planning students, Clara Amenyo, Osamu Kumasaka & Lenna Johnsen, who highlighted these disparities by creating an Instagram filter, street map, and playing cards featuring Cambridge women.

“In an ideal world there wouldn’t be feminicid “In an ideal world there wouldn’t be feminicide, let’s start from there. There wouldn’t even be a concept of such a thing as feminicide. But while there is, our aspiration is for there to be at least a minimum set of data that allows us to understand the situation of every country.” Read “5 Questions on Data and Feminicide with Silvana Fumega” at the #DataFeminism publication on Medium. @silvana_fumega is the research and policy director of the Latin American Open Data Initiative (@ildalatam) where she and her team have developed a much-needed standard for collecting and publishing data on femicides. . . . https://medium.com/data-feminism
“Inequality can be measured. Inequality isn't th “Inequality can be measured. Inequality isn't that I'm angry or complaining. Inequality isn't a feeling of mine. Inequality is something that exists, that we can see, that we can measure... . . Data helps us build arguments to debate this with more authority and reliability. They are also useful for us because if we want to transform our society, we have to diagnose the problems. The average unemployment rate in Argentina is 10%, and the unemployment rate for young women under the age of 29 is 20%. Why does this happen with women under the age of 29? Maybe it’s because they're at a childbearing age, and that makes them withdraw from the labor market; or maybe people don't want to hire them because they'll be absent. And that's important, because it allows us to think how we can improve the access conditions to the labor market for these women, or if there's sufficient provision of childcare.” Read the full interview with Mercedes D’Alessandro, @metxi0, co-creator of Economía Feminista, at the #DataFeminism publication on Medium today!

I’m thinking a lot about this quote from @adrien I’m thinking a lot about this quote from @adriennemareebrown right now in the context of participating in mutual aid work in my town. It’s really inspiring work and there is a lot of need and amazing folks participating. But there have been detractors who don’t want to give people cash when that’s what they request or who accuse us of falling into traps of people who are scamming us “pretending to be single mothers” or who want to make sure that people will spend money well. This is frustrating. I think if people say they need money then they need money. It’s nobody’s business what they need it for or how they will use it. The purpose of mutual aid is to trust the people to speak their needs and then try to meet those needs collectively.

@mrnvlnt on gender equality in online spaces: “O @mrnvlnt on gender equality in online spaces: “Of course we have to think of free speech. But free speech for whom? Because it seemed like the previous discourse on digital rights was considering the general subject. The universal subject, which is always the white male.” Our full interview with Mariana Valente, one of the directors of @internetlab in São Paulo, is now up on Medium. Valente’s work examines the intersection of law, civil rights, and online spaces, which makes for a fascinating 5Q! Read this and more at the #DataFeminism publication and don’t forget to order your copy of the book today from @mitpress https://medium.com/data-feminism

Dr. Valerie Hudson, author and International Affairs professor, on the importance of #DataFeminism. Hudson runs a global database on women, known as the WomanStats Database, which aims to be “the most comprehensive database on the situation and status of women in the world.” Check out the full interview with her on Medium — https://medium.com/data-feminism — and order Data Feminism - the book - from @mitpress today.

“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
