Mobilizing Data for Justice is a podcast by the Data Justice Hube that looks at how activists gather and make sense of data.Data activists from around the world have developed creative methods for archiving and visualizing data, confronting surveillance infrastructures, and fostering communities of practice that invite us to think about data differently.Join us as we hear from researchers and activists around the world as we explore how they do their work, how they take care of themselves, and what they beleive is the future for data activism.

Illustrating data feminism in action, D'Ignazio and Klein show how challenges to the male/female binary can help challenge other hierarchical (and empirically wrong) classification systems. They explain how, for example, an understanding of emotion can expand our ideas about effective data visualization, and how the concept of invisible labor can expose the significant human efforts required by our automated systems. And they show why the data never, ever "speak for themselves."
