Data Bookclub: Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men

Data Bookclub: Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men In-Person / Online

Embark on a captivating exploration of data bias and its far-reaching implications with this term's Data Book Club. This winter, we're delving into Caroline Criado Perez's "Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men." Join us in unraveling the complexities of gender data bias, shedding light on its pervasive influence across various facets of society. 

Through Perez's meticulous research, we'll uncover how seemingly impartial data can reinforce inequalities in areas such as healthcare and urban planning. "Invisible Women" challenges us to question existing norms and advocate for a more equitable future. 

Engage in insightful discussions as we navigate the chapters, addressing the challenges posed by gender data bias and exploring potential solutions. Perez's exploration of real-world examples provides a comprehensive understanding of the impact data bias has on our everyday lives. Whether you are interested in gender bias, data sicence, or research design, this book will leave you re-evaluating many aspects of the world around you.

Join us every other week while we gather over coffee and treats, or over zoom, to discuss the chapters. We would love to have you add to our conversation, even on weeks when you aren't able to complete the reading.
