I’m with Ryan, here: I’ve always struggled a little at making sense of artists’ intentions and the broader social messages they’re trying to get across. But I particularly struggled with this one (perhaps because, […]

Stephanie Thomson commented on the post, Technology That Makes Life Easier, But Not for Women, on the site Unruly Bodies

Mon, 21 Jun 2021 03:48:33 -0400

I’d be really interested in understanding how the types of work environments affect the extent to which women experience these feelings. I say this as someone who works on a team mainly with other parents (mostly […]

Mon, 21 Jun 2021 03:44:50 -0400

This is fascinating, thanks so much for sharing! This is actually a topic I am really passionate about: my daughter was born at 27 weeks weighing 1 pound 14 ounces after I got really sick during my first […]

I don’t know how I feel about robot police dogs more generally, but I think the timing of this announcement was just so badly thought through, it makes me wonder if the NYPD have a PR department. I think our […]

Stephanie Thomson commented on the post, Data Collection Through EEG Cap, on the site Unruly Bodies

Wed, 16 Jun 2021 02:31:54 -0400

Wow, this is fascinating, thanks so much for sharing. It almost feels like journaling but taken to the extreme. I’ve never done that myself, but I know a lot of people who do say that being able to revisit the […]

Stephanie Thomson commented on the post, 6/16 - Coded Bias Documentary, on the site Unruly Bodies

Tue, 15 Jun 2021 02:13:11 -0400

This is so interesting, thanks for sharing! I’ve long followed the discussion about how the data we feed into algorithms is biased and therefore the results that get spat out are as well. Although it’s been an […]

Stephanie Thomson commented on the post, Plastic Surgery, Medical Tourism, and the Cyborg, on the site Unruly Bodies

Mon, 14 Jun 2021 00:53:50 -0400

Thanks for sharing this and posing such an interesting question. I was fascinated with the Jillian Weise piece we read this week, and the suggestion that Haraway’s manifesto trivialized the idea of being a cyborg […]

Stephanie Thomson commented on the post, Black Women in Pornography, on the site Unruly Bodies

Sat, 12 Jun 2021 15:47:50 -0400

This is such an interesting topic, and as others have said, one that isn’t really discussed enough (in general, not just the racialized elements you raised). Most of the points I wanted to make have already been […]

In a 2011 essay, Katherine Hayles defines transhumanism as the idea that “contemporary technosciences can enhance human capabilities and ameliorate or eliminate such traditional verities as mortality.” The ess […]

Stephanie Thomson commented on the post, "You Are So Brave", on the site Unruly Bodies

Wed, 09 Jun 2021 02:03:28 -0400

This was such a great piece, thanks for sharing. Whenever I think of “bravery” it brings to mind the idea that there is something to be fearful of, so in this case, it feels like people are sending the message to […]

Stephanie Thomson commented on the post, The Advertiser's Gaze, on the site Unruly Bodies

Fri, 04 Jun 2021 15:58:27 -0400

I find this marketing tactic – exploiting people’s (women’s, mainly) bodily insecurities to get potential customers to part with their money – really depressing, particularly because I thought many advertisers had […]
