  In Roundtable Session: Renegade Materialisms

Abstract

Entangling feminist and new materialist theories and methodologies, this paper develops an ecological analysis of data. The production of data, what counts as data, and the affects/effects of data analysis will be discussed. Questioning traditional approaches to data collection and analysis, this paper thus argues for an ecological approach that opens up data to re-articulations that are determined by the participants involved in the research study.
