      What makes a project feminist? As will become clear, a project may be feminist in content, in that it challenges power by choice of subject matter; in form, in that it challenges power by shifting the aesthetic and/or sensory registers of data communication; and/or in process, in that it challenges power by building participatory, inclusive processes of knowledge production.d-undefined, .lh-undefined { background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) !important; }1Eva Maria Chavez. What unites this broad scope of data-based work is a commitment to action and a desire to remake the world..d-undefined, .lh-undefined { background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) !important; }1Sara Blumenstein

      I wonder what differentiates this from being "liberatory" or "critical".

      The work of data feminism is first to tune into how standard practices in data science serve to reinforce these existing inequalities and second to use data science to challenge and change the distribution of power..d-undefined, .lh-undefined { background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) !important; }1Megan Foesch

      This reminds me of what we see in the syllabus and what we are going to discuss in this class, how data is powerful in that it can be used and misused and reinforce or disrupt inequities.
