For this class, I read “Feminist Data Visualization” by Catherine D’Ignazio and Lauren F. Klein, which was relevant to mean a girl studying in this field. Reading about the feminist approach that they took was interesting because of all the different aspects of feminism that can be analyzed through data, many of which have changed throughout time; power, context, embodiment. I enjoyed the connection between humanities and visualization that was discussed because from what I’ve come across so far, the importance of humanities in data isn’t emphasized enough. Contributions from feminist thought can make a big impact. The “Design Process Questions” at the end of each section were good for critical thinking for me as I read and made me realize how important generating effective questions are when analyzing data.
