In a recent online exchange, poet Elice A. Smith commented on a Tweet featuring AR glasses for “people with hearing loss.” New glasses powered by augmented reality (AR) allow people with hearing loss to see spoken words converted to written words @rexchapman pic.twitter.com/EyxcZlAcUX — Vala Afshar (@ValaAfshar) March 22, 2022 Quoting her deaf sister, Smith wrote: Sent this to my deaf sister and asked her opinion.

Weaving together insights from both liberal political economy and Foucaul- dian biopolitics, Cohen tracks and theorizes the mechanisms—from early design choices of the commercial Web to the (in)action of lawmakers and regulators—that have allowed personal information to be conceptualized as a kind of natural resource,one that is both Braw^ and valuable. This conception is, of course, artificial; Cohen shows how Braw^ data are elicited in carefully standardized ways, thus undermining characterizations of the data science process as Bprotean and dynamic.^ Further, she shows how these choices have shaped practices of data collection and exploitation in both developed and developing nations. For Cohen, the biopolitical public domain is one that, increasingly, encompasses the entire globe, enabling the statistical construc- tion and management of entire populations.

So many issues of structural inequality are problems of scale, and they can seem anecdotal until they are viewed as a whole. For instance, in 2014, when film professors Shelley Cobb and Linda Ruth Williams set out to count the women involved in the film industry in the United Kingdom, they encountered a woman screenwriter who had never before considered the fact that in the United Kingdom, women screenwriters are outnumbered by screenwriters of other genders at a rate of four to one.
