problems of gender and racial bias in our information systems
Are we ever going to move passed a humans race or gender? We're all supposed to be created equal but that has never been the case. Ones sexual orientation or color of their skin should never determine a persons worth. It's like judging a book by its cover instead of their intelligence and experience.
gender lines in the higher education pipeline
I loved seeing the rising numbers of women students in todays higher education over men. 39.1 percent of women in the US have completed a four year degree or more since 2021. Even though that's only a 3.8 percent increase since 1940, I love it!
four A’s of data: data architecture, data acquisition, data analysis, and data archiving.
My favorite part of the 4 A's is architecture. Data architecture translates business needs into data and system requirements and to manage its data and its flow. Data architecture involves shared data, adequate access, security, common understanding, curated data, and optimized data flow.
the diverse and wide-ranging projects that name and challenge sexism and other forces of oppression, as well as those which seek to create more just, equitable, and livable futures
I love this but unfortunately, that's not how this world works. We've taken so many steps forward and steps back in female rights and human rights in general. Roe v Wade is an example. The only thing I'll say that it was a huge step back for women's rights. All genders should have equal rights and opportunities. It's about about respecting diverse women's experiences, identities, strengths, knowledge. and striving to empower all women to realize their FULL rights!
