New paper: @teeepain and I wrote a short piece for the recent #CSCW2020 workshop on Reconsidering Scale and Scaling, wherein we try to map the dimensions of "scale thinking" in Valley culture and map out resistances in mutual aid arxiv.org/abs/2010.08850

@asociologist Latour's "Aramis, or the Love of Technology" is underappreciated. My students liked it because they were able to learn about social theory while reading a detective novel.

@Kinnon_Ross @blake_w_hawkins @Mastercard With credit to @justinwbdouglas for guiding my thinking on the politics of the credit card...
@Kinnon_Ross @blake_w_hawkins @Mastercard I assume Mastercard is anticipating US regulatory changes in the near future regarding gender identity and expression discrimination, much like the banks were attempting to preempt race and sex-based credit discrimination in the 1970s...
@Kinnon_Ross New markets mean new potential opportunities. This is nothing new. "She goes to Hartford National because we don't lend money on the basis of sex" @justinwbdouglas
@Boots ALSO: if you open another tab, the training pauses.
@Boots The OHF began this training in 2017 due to a human rights complaint from 2013 being settled.
Before being allowed to step on the ice to help my son's team, I am required by the Ontario Hockey Federation to take "Understanding Discrimination Based Upon Gender Identity and Expression" 1/3
And, if 30,000 hockey coaches across Ontario can be required to sit through training about transphobia and intersectionality, then organizations have no excuse 3/3
As someone who grew up playing women's hockey and experienced homophobia and transphobia on/off the ice, I find the initiative encouraging 2/3
