Connie*Data Feminism in Action*
*Dr. Lauren F. Klein*Date: Friday, May 27
Time: 13:00 to 14:30 EST
Language of presentation: English
This is a virtual presentation
Registration: https://dhsite.org/dhsite-2022-keynote-speakers/Drawing from her recent book, *Data Feminism* (MIT Press), coauthored with
Catherine D’Ignazio, Klein will present a set of principles for doing data
science that are informed by the past several decades of intersectional
feminist activism and critical thought. In order to illustrate these
principles, as well as some of the ways that scholars have begun to put
them into action, she will discuss a range of recent research projects
including several of her own: 1) a thematic analysis of a large corpus of
nineteenth-century newspapers that reveals the invisible labor of women
newspaper editors; 2) the development of a model of lexical semantic change
that, when combined with network analysis, tells a new story about Black
activism in the nineteenth-century United States; and 3) an interactive
book on the history of data visualization that shows how questions of
politics have been present in the field since its start. Taken together,
these examples demonstrate how feminist thinking can be operationalized
into more ethical, more intentional, and more capacious data practices,
in the digital humanities and beyond.*Lauren Klein (https://lklein.com/)* is Winship Distinguished Research
