| dc.description.abstract | In this paper, we begin to outline how feminist theory may be productively applied to information visualization research and
practice. Other technology- and design-oriented fields such as Science and Technology Studies, Human-Computer Interaction, Digital
Humanities, and Geography/GIS have begun to incorporate feminist principles into their research. Feminism is not (just) about women,
but rather draws our attention to questions of epistemology – who is included in dominant ways of producing and communicating
knowledge and whose perspectives are marginalized. We describe potential applications of feminist theory to influence the information
design process as well as to shape the outputs from that process. | en_US |
