[Air-L] feminist & care ethics in internet research?

Wed Apr 3 05:53:29 PDT 2019

Hi,

We also base the Virt-EU project on feminist and care ethics principles, using these to help to frame new strategies for work on the internet of things (but this could apply to other data-intensive services and business models as well)

There are several blogs outlining our approach here: http://virteuproject.eu

My own broader work is also concerned with feminist/care ethics - look out for my book on the smart city next year, called Suboptimal: Communication Rights in the Smart City (Yale).

Best

Alison.

Thanks Jill.

I engage with feminist ethics of care in the forthcoming chapter:
³Understanding citizen data practices from a feminist perspective:
embodiment and the ethics of care". In
Stephansen, H. and Trere, E. (eds) Citizen Media and Practice. Taylor &
Francis/Routledge: Oxford.

You can email me for an author¹s proof of the chapter, it was written last
year.

And in my forthcoming book ³Feminist data studies: big data, critique and
social justice² (SAGE), out sometime next year.

Best wishes
Aristea

We are hosting a double talk in Bergen today where Liz Losh will speak
about feminist digital humanities, based on the collection she recently
co-edited with Jacqueline Wernimont (not officially out in Europe until
June, but somehow our library got a copy), and Aristea Fotopoulou will
speak about the monograph she is writing for SAGE on Feminist Data
Studies. There are definitely examples of feminist care ethics in Liz¹s
book, though I don¹t think they use those words. Maybe ask Aristea
directly - she is in Bergen for the semester finishing her book.

We won¹t be streaming the talks, but will post a recap afterwards. And
Liz and Aristea¹s books are or will be available soon!

I also found Disrupting the Digital Humanities recently - haven¹t read
much yet but there is much feminism in there. And it has a smirking cat
on the front cover, with the title in pink, and the first sentence is
³This book was written before the world went to shit², so I think it¹s
probably good!

Obviously a lot of DH isn¹t internet research but there are some overlaps.

Hi all,

As some of you know, this week aline shakti franzke is a guest
researcher with us here in Oslo, with a primary focus on pushing forward
our work on the Internet Research Ethics 3.0 documents.

Aline is working specifically on a module on feminist ethics and care
ethics as ethical frameworks and their application in IRE.

While I have a small bibliography of examples going back to the early
2000s, I'm wondering if / hoping that I can take advantage of the AoIR
community and simply ask: can you forward bibliographic information
regarding articles, chapters, etc. that include explicitly feminist and/
or care ethics approaches in application to specific ethical challenges
and difficulties in IRE?

In the spirit of recent threads, it would likely be quite interesting
and beneficent to simply reply to the list with your suggestions.

The resulting bibliography will be included as a resource in the IRE 3.0
documents; we will happily acknowledge individuals for your suggestions
and contributions.

Many thanks in advance for any contributions and suggestions you may be
able to offer.

best regards,
- charles ess
