Abolitionist Networks: Modeling Language Change in Nineteenth-Century Activist Newspapers
The abolitionist movement of the nineteenth-century United States remains among the most significant social and political movements in US history. Abolitionist newspapers played a crucial role in spreading information and shaping public opinion around a range of issues relating to the abolition of slavery. These newspapers also serve as a primary source of information about the movement for scholars today, resulting in powerful new accounts of th…
Data Feminism
A new way of thinking about data science and data ethics that is informed by the ideas of intersectional feminism. Today, data science is a form of power. It has been used to expose injustice, improve health outcomes, and topple governments. But it has also been used to discriminate, police, and surveil. This potential for good, on the one hand, and harm, on the other, makes it essential to ask: Data science by whom? Data science for whom? Data s…
Seven intersectional feminist principles for equitable and actionable Covid-19 data

The Image of Absence: Archival Silence, Data Visualization, and James Hemings
In recent years, scholars from across the humanities, including literary critics Stephen Best and Saidiya Hartman, have theorized about how best to account for the silences endemic to the archive of American slavery. These critics call for a shift away from what Best has described as a "logic and ethic of recovery" to a new focus, instead, on animating the mysteries of the past. With the example of James Hemings, Thomas Jefferson's enslaved chef …
