Description: FREE SHIPPING UK WIDE Counting Feminicide by Catherine D'Ignazio "This book explores the work of activists in the Americas who are documenting feminicide, arguing that feminist activists at the margins have much to teach mainstream data scientists about data ethics: how to work with data ethically amidst extreme and durable structural inequalities"-- FORMAT Hardcover CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Why grassroots data activists in Latin America count feminicide-and how this vital social justice work challenges mainstream data science.Why grassroots data activists in Latin America count feminicide-and how this vital social justice work challenges mainstream data science.What isnt counted doesnt count. And mainstream institutions systematically fail to account for feminicide, the gender-related killing of women and girls, including cisgender and transgender women. Against this failure, Counting Feminicide brings to the fore the work of data activists across the Americas who are documenting such murders-and challenging the reigning logic of data science by centering care, memory, and justice in their work. Drawing on Data Against Feminicide, a large-scale collaborative research project, Catherine DIgnazio describes the creative, intellectual, and emotional labor of feminicide data activists who are at the forefront of a data ethics that rigorously and consistently takes power and people into account.Individuals, researchers, and journalists-these data activists scour news sources to assemble spreadsheets and databases of women killed by gender-related violence, then circulate those data in a variety of creative and political forms. Their work reveals the potential of restorative/transformative data science-the use of systematic information to, first, heal communities from the violence and trauma produced by structural inequality and, second, envision and work toward the world in which such violence has been eliminated. Specifically, DIgnazio explores the possibilities and limitations of counting and quantification-reducing complex social phenomena to convenient, sortable, aggregable forms-when the goal is nothing short of the elimination of gender-related violence.Counting Feminicide showcases the incredible power of data feminism in practice, in which each murdered woman or girl counts, and, in being counted, joins a collective demand for the restoration of rights and a transformation of the gendered order of the world. Author Biography Catherine DIgnazio is Associate Professor of Urban Science and Planning in the Department of Urban Studies and Planning at MIT. She is the coauthor, with Lauren F. Klein, of Data Feminism (MIT Press).
