Today, on #InternationalWomensDay I'd like to celebrate 10 amazing academics who've changed the fields of #STS #STEM and social sciences, and made significant impact on my own research. Follow them, come work with them, read and cite their work! #WomensDay #AcademicTwitter
Alondra Nelson @alondra is the first #STS scholar to have become a science advisor to the President of the United States. Prof. Nelson is recognized for her pioneering studies of #genetics #race and #technology and for years she's worked to support social sciences in the US.
Shoshana Zuboff @shoshanazuboff. Everyone's read The Age of Surveillance Capitalism. It is in Prof. Zuboff's terms that we all discuss #BigTech and the privacy crisis that challenges our democratic institutions. #SurveillanceCapitalism
Ruha Benjamin @ruha9 -- for her outstanding work in the areas of #race and #technology and having become the voice of the generation. For myself and many others Prof. Benjamin's work has been an epiphany.
Shobita Parthasarathy @ShobitaP -- for the insightful research on #patent politics and transforming the field of #InnovationStudies.
Teresa Scassa @TeresaScassa. Prof. Scassa's foundational research on Canada's data protection laws is a must-read for anyone working in the field of #datagovernance. Also, check out her blog teresascassa.ca
Barbara Prainsack @BPrainsack -- for the seminal work emphasizing the importance of solidarity in biomedical research and #datagovernance.
Mariana Mazzucato @MazzucatoM -- I am pretty sure "The Value of Everything" will receive a Nobel Prize in economics. Also, thank you to Prof. Mazzucato for helping us reimagine the role of the state as an innovator.
Catherine D'Ignazio @kanarinka and Lauren F. Klein @laurenfklein -- for the foundational "Data Feminism" monograph. You can find an open access version here: mitpress.mit.edu/books/data-fem…
