🚨📣 We’re launching the first Early Career Editorial Board for Digital Geography & Society.

We offer mentoring & hands-on experience in #academicpublishing & editorial work. Please share widely 🙏
I just finished reading Sarah Sharma’s new book Insufferable Tools: Feminism Against Big Tech. It’s a sustained and wonderful piece of feminist technoscience writing, from a media studies scholar determined to forge a structural/strategic analysis of the white patriarchy that surrounds so much of contemporary digital tech and its hype. In one way, that white patriarchy is all too obvious.
