----- Event location is now online -----

In our July meeting we will talk about the text Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men (2019) by Caroline Criado Perez.

In the text Perez examines vastly different elements of our world that seemingly work less well for women than for men, a construction that has massive, sometimes deadly consequence.
The biased nature of the data that contributes to our worlds making results from and further contributes to an understanding of the human subject as by default male; in the realms of consumer products, medical care, tax structures and more.

We will meet at 16:00 online through the platform Jitsi. It's easy to use in your browser and/or possible to download.
