Feminist Data Visualization Response

 

This was a very interesting article that had me alter the way that I thought about data. I had been exposed to feminist theory throughout my whole life whether it be articles, school, or other situations but I never had connected it to data and visualizing research. I realized also my close mindedness think that feminism was just about women but rather it draws our attention to question of epistemology. It was also very interesting that it drew upon “a set of canonical and contemporary theories from the humanities.” These theories we used to show emphasis to the nature of knowledge and perception. I also learned a lot within the section titled Feminist human computer. Specifically, about peoples work on the exploration of the implications of feminist theory and learned a lot about how the human-computer interaction and how this helps promote these visualizations. Not only this but also digital humanities as a whole. There are still some things to be critical with this article however. We have to think of the context which is from a particular social, cultural, and material context. This makes the visualization created from this feminist approach so one must think have this output might be received.
