Lauren Klein- Keynote at Beyond Smart Cities Today, Sweden, June 2022.
June 30, 2022
Data Feminism in Action
What is feminist data science? How is feminist thinking being incorporated into smart cities research and other data-driven work? And how are scholars in the humanities and social sciences bringing together data science and feminist theory in their research more broadly?
Drawing from her recent book, Data Feminism, co-authored with Catherine D’Ignazio, Klein will present a set of principles for doing data science that are informed by decades of intersectional feminist activism and critical thought. To illustrate these principles, Klein will discuss a range of recent research projects, including some of her own. Taken together, these examples will demonstrate how feminist thinking can be operationalized into more ethical, more intentional, and more capacious data practices, in smart cities research and beyond.
