You do not need a ballot to clean out your sink spout.”
This just ignited rage in me- as a woman with young children and who has been told by peers and family members that staying home with the kids would be better for their 'development'. Societies views towards women's place in the workforce are still sexist and a battle women face every day.
Who does the work (and who is pushed out)? Who benefits (and who is neglected or harmed)? Whose priorities get turned into products (and whose are overlooked)? .d-undefined, .lh-undefined { background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) !important; }1Seyoon Ahn
These are interesting questions because as discussed in this article, even with new data collection, and the intention is there to create a diverse data set, if it is people from a majority group collecting the data, often unknowingly a diverse group of people are left out of the collection. This is in reference to the facial recognition example. Moreover, I would ask, 'Who does the work (and who is pushed out) AND how can we actively find ways to figure out the groups being pushed out- because sometimes our own unconscious bias won't be able to come up with that answer ourselves.
These restrictions persist today, in the form of practices.d-undefined, .lh-undefined { background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) !important; }2A they/them Pollicino, Jillian McCarten like dropping names from voter rolls, requiring photo IDs, and limits to early voting—the burdens of which are felt disproportionately by low-income people, people of color, and others who lack the time or resources to jump through these additional bureaucratic hoops.
These restrictions do persist today; between transportation barriers and computer literacy barriers alone. I have seen first hand several people unable to vote during the last town election because they were unable to get to the fire hall where voting was taking place. And for many, voting online requires one on one help with the technology; something not everyone has.
The story becomes one of her research journey, and not one of the families and communities represented therein
This is a thought provoking concept- is the archivist self serving in their work? Who should archiving benefit? The archivist or the communities represented in the archives?
No longer would there need to be as heavy a focus on the White-supremacy inflected structures of archival repositories
The author here is making a very interesting statement- the intent of the digitalization of these files is questional
two highly influential authors opted for a view of documents that was only an extension of textual records to include audiovisual communications
Following up on my previous comment about how documents were paper form only; but some authors now include audiovisual means, such as voicemail to be included in the definition of a document. If it can be categorized and used as evidence, for example, in my opinion, it would be a document.
The overwhelming practical concern of documentalists was with printed documents, so the question of how far the definition of "document" could be extended received little direct attention
A new modern dilemma arises as much of our communication comes from other means than just printed documents. Voicemails for example
Researchers are having to remake the case for continued increases in funding when there is less money for essential public services in society, including those relied on by people living in poverty
Instead of relying on public funding, what are some other ways that universities can obtain funding for their programs. Commercial ventures and partnerships? Philanthropy? International online programs?
One of which is how to fund these institutions
In Canada law and medical schools are publicly funded, but in the United States, there are many private and for-profit universities that promise a good education and underdeliver. Some would say they are even predatory. Something to consider..
