Data Feminism -- @kanarinka.bsky.social @laurenfklein.bsky.social

Data Feminism is the best introduction to issues of justice and data science. I assign chapters of this book in every course I teach. This book lays bare how some data-driven systems empower people and others oppress.

Roughly speaking, the prompt to the discussion was "big things are happening elsewhere, how are we going to respond to this in our field?", and this speaker gave a very calm answer to the tune of "it is okay to still focus on existing challenges, it is not essential to respond to this other stuff".

I would love to be able to assess their ability to read and understand AI/ML papers, but I don't know a ChatGPT cheat proof way of doing this and truly test student understanding through a written medium.
Any suggestions would be appreciated!

The experiences of reading well-written papers about middling results and poorly-written papers about fascinating results are wildly different, in this (and in other) regard(s).
