“I am too fond of reading books to care to write them…” Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray 📚💬

Beginning my third read of Katie Rose Guest Pryal’s THE FREELANCE ACADEMIC. 📚

Finding Literary Spaces Amid the Intensity of New Motherhood 🔖📚💬

📚 Just finished the introduction of Data Feminism & am jotting down some thoughts. I hope to expand on these later.

1. To what extent and how do the 7 principles of data feminism intersect/interact with Jennifer Armbrust’s 12 principles for prototyping a feminist business?

📚 Data Feminism has the best (and perhaps only) definition of positionality I’ve ever seen: “Positionality is a term that describes how individuals come to knowledge-making processes from multiple positions, including race, gender, geography, class, ability, and more. Each of these positions is shaped by culture and context, and they intersect and interact.”
