Jamia Wilson, Latoya Peterson, and I had a great conversation earlier this year about an idea: “intersectional data.” We have recently returned to the idea and the time for me to write a bit about it is growing close. As a way of working toward that end, this is an idea gathering post. If you have items to share, please let me know! From our previous conversations: Intersectional Data Manifesto While we […]
Ferocious Generosity
A while ago I collected a few items on my blog in preparation to write about openly feminist scholarship and thinking through what I mean when I say I am working toward a “more generous method.” At the time I was reflecting on the idea of “baked in” feminism that I first wrote about in my “Whence Feminism” piece. I was also grappling with a series of eruptions of misogyny, […]
Vibrant Lives premiers!
In the tradition of a “soft opening,” the Vibrant Lives interactive performance will be premiering October 2, 3, 4 as a pre-show event for Fall Forward, the kick-off event for the dance season at the the Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts, School of Film, Theater, and Dance. This is a fantastic opportunity to engage in a live, improvisational performance about every day “data shed.” Guests are encouraged to […]
No More Excuses
Male colleagues whom I respect, read, think with and sometimes disagree with: it is time. Time to see gender equity (at the very least) and our much touted inclusivity be realized. As a feminist I think dissensus is necessary and disagreement can be productive. I don’t want to hide our many differences. But it is time to stop behaving as if there aren’t any/enough/enough good women working in the fields […]
Build a better panel: Women in DH
I’ll skip the rant and get straight to the issue – can’t think of women who you might invite for keynote or other conference event? Let us help (crowdsourced list – you can add to the spreadsheet here – don’t worry about order and formatting, I’ll periodically fix). Pro-tip: the “Build a Better DH Syllabus” and “Build a Better List of Code Experts” are also great resources for this. [googleapps domain=”docs” […]
Generosity and baking it in…
A post in progress…I can’t write this all now, but I tonight I’m putting in some markers and will return to these fragments in order to help me think about what I mean by a “more generous method” by thinking about who is there in that generosity and as a way of grappling with my own recent feminist “baking” Three moments Clair Potter’s “Putting the Humanities in Action: Why We […]
In Progress: Vibrant Lives
One of the great pleasures of my summer was working with Jessica Rajko and Eileen Standley on our Vibrant Lives project. Our Friday “lab” sessions were exercises in interdisciplinary learning, listening, moving, and playing. The above are two stills from one of our very early movement sessions, in which Jessica, Eileen, and some of our dance collaborators were exploring connected/connecting movement. We moved, we talked about the gravity working to […]
A seasonal recap/forecast
There’s a lot going on these days that I’m excited about – here’s a short list: Liz Losh wrote up the first of our series of Digital Media and Learning posts about our Trust Challenge Addressing Antifeminist Violence work this year. The post follows on the summer summit held at ASU and announces the start of the Center for Solutions to Online Violence – a collaborative and distributed process of […]
Signal Boost – GG attacks SXSW panels on online safety, harassment, and VR.
Via Arthur Chu and with permission: “As you may know, the South by Southwest (SXSW) festival in Austin uses a crowdsourced approval method for its panels, taking into account online voting to see which proposed panels get approved. (http://panelpicker.sxsw.com/) Three panels proposed for SXSW Interactive — about gaming and interactive media — are being attacked by GamerGate right now. One of them, a panel about VR, isn’t even related to […]
Internet Safety Resource List
As part of our ongoing effort to address antifeminist violence online, the AAFVO project team has been working on a resource list. Inevitably this will be incomplete and subject to change – nothing stays stable on the web for long. This is very much a work in progress. We welcome your input about resources we should list and other places we might look. The majority of the credit for this […]
