SUMMARY:Data Feminism: Power\, Inequality\, and Social Change
DESCRIPTION:Who gets counted\, who gets excluded\, and who benefits from the stories data tells? \n\n\n\nIn this workshop\, participants will be introduced to Data Feminism\, which Catherine D’Ignazio and Lauren Klein describe as “a way of thinking about data\, both their uses and their limits\, that is informed by direct experience\, by a commitment to action\, and by intersectional feminist thought” (2020). Together\, we will explore how data practices can reproduce inequalities related to gender\, race\, sexuality\, disability\, class\, age\, geography\, and other intersecting systems of power\, as well as how data can be used to make those inequities visible\, challenge unequal distributions of power\, and support social change. Tying an understanding of inequality to a commitment to action\, we will introduce data practices that can help make equality a reality\, including Mel Mikhail’s proposals for data management in feminist research projects. Through an introduction to the principles of Data Feminism\, participants will reflect on how these ideas can inform their own research\, teaching\, community engagement\, and advocacy efforts. \n\n\n\nNew to Data Feminism? No problem! This workshop is designed for anyone interested in learning how data can be used to challenge inequities and support social change. Researchers\, educators\, students\, librarians\, staff\, and community members are all welcome. \n\n\n\nBy the end of this session\, participants will be able to: \n\n\n\n\nDescribe key principles of Data Feminism.\n\n\n\nExplain how systems of power shape data collection\, interpretation\, and use.\n\n\n\nIdentify opportunities to use data to amplify marginalized perspectives and advance social change.\n\n\n\nReflect on their own data types and what kinds of biases and ideological beliefs inform them.\n\n\n\n\nDetails: Any preparatory work for the session can be found on its information page. This virtual workshop will be recorded and shared on the same page\, and discoverable via the Sherman Centre’s Online Learning Catalogue. \n\n\n\nInstructors: Danica Evering and Lauren McLean
