Do folks have recommendations for good feminist STS discussions of biostatistics or stats in healthcare? I’m craving a good background to these applied methods while I’m taking MPH courses

This essay talks about a major turning point in my approach to digital humanities, which has directly shaped what I've been doing for the last 5 years. I can show it to you soon once we finish dealing with some UI issues and do a little bit more data cleaning. But really, it freed me.
The second half of #ComputationalHumanities ("asking about") starts with @roopikarisam.bsky.social on the multiple, overlapping challenges faced in computational ethnic studies, and concrete suggestions for how everyone can help reduce them!

Here's a short thing on adversarial language, following yesterday's poetry news. It argues for interpretability work undertaken via literary studies and tries to acknowledge some difficulties this would entail.

Thank you, @roopikarisam.bsky.social, for your closing words for #DH2025: 'the future of DH requires access grounded in accountability; repair sustained by care; scholarship driven by solidarity'
And also, 'hope and strategy are very important things to hold onto right now'

It's hard to say what was most inspiring in a truly momentous talk full of many, many moments. But I was first touched when you said that giving a DH keynote had been a career-long dream of yours.
It was our collective dream as well, Roopsi. Thank you for fulfilling it with such style. 💜
