Description

Data Feminism offers a new way of thinking about data science and data ethics through an intersectional feminist lens. It reveals inequities in systems where numbers are allowed to lie, and provides strategies for change. The authors argue that data science is not neutral, but rather reflects the interests of those who have power. They show how challenges to traditional classification systems can help create a more just and equitable approach to data analysis. By exploring the role of emotion, invisible labor, and other concepts, Data Feminism illustrates how data science can be used to promote justice. This book is essential reading for anyone working in data science or interested in using data to drive positive change.
