[Petit Fours #431] On datafication, feminist technology, and being free

Hi, all! Here’s what I’ve got for you today:

#1 Today, it begins: our FemTech and Feminist Tech focus period, a five-week series of events. Part of the program is open to the public, such as the amazing seminars we’ve lined up.

#2 Reminder: The Call for Participation for our Aarhus decennial conference workshop on Data/Work in Crisis is open until May 20.

#3 Speaking of data work, New Media and Society recently published a really interesting special issue on Empirical Approaches to Infrastructures for Datafication.

#4 I’m tempted to include this poem in my syllabus for the autumn: For a Student Who Used AI to Write a Paper “I know your days are precious on this earth. But what are you trying to be free of? The living? The miraculous task of it?“
