Data Feminism
https://data-feminism.mitpress.mit.edu/
Today, data science is a form of power. It has been used to expose injustice, improve health outcomes, and topple governments. But it has also been used to discriminate, police, and surveil. This potential for good, on the one hand, and harm, on the other, makes it essential to ask: Data science by whom? Data science for whom? Data science with whose interests in mind? The narratives around big data and data science are overwhelmingly white, male, and techno-heroic. In Data Feminism, Catherine D'Ignazio and Lauren Klein present a new way of thinking about data science and data ethics—one that is informed by intersectional feminist thought.

The Digital Piranesi
https://scalar.usc.edu/works/piranesidigitalproject/index
The Digital Piranesi is a developing digital humanities project that aims to provide an enhanced digital edition of the works of Italian illustrator Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720-1778). His works are rare—his complete works are exceedingly so—and they constitute a colossal corpus with expansive pedagogical and scholarly potential lacking in any comprehensive searchable index. “The Digital Piranesi” aims to make the content and connections in this rich body of work easily accessible and searchable.

Loss/Capture
https://losscaptureproject.cargo.site/
Loss/Capture is an ongoing exploration into the archives and collections that preserve and speak to the histories, experiences, culture, and lives of Sixty’s core communities. Volume one focuses on the state of Black cultural archives in and beyond Chicago.

Shakespeare and Company Project
https://shakespeareandco.princeton.edu/
The Shakespeare and Company Project provides a striking new portrait of the Lost Generation and life in interwar Paris by illuminating the epicenter of expatriate life: the Shakespeare and Company bookshop and lending library. Founded by Sylvia Beach, whose papers are held by Special Collections at Princeton’s Firestone Library, Shakespeare and Company counted among its members prominent writers (including James Joyce, Ernest Hemingway, Simone de Beauvoir, and Gertrude Stein) and artists (including Janet Scudder, Claude Cahun, Roderic O'Conor, and Fanie Eloff).
