“…This paper builds on previous arguments about the relevance of epistemic injustice to misgendering (Argyriou, 2021), and situates this work in an empirical case. This paper also builds upon work done to understand the safety concerns of women in online knowledge sharing platforms (Menking et al, 2019), and extends this work to diverse gender identities. While other research has focussed on the extremes of geek masculinity (Regehr, 2020), in this paper I emphasise the ways in which the logics of geek masculinity and hegemonic masculinity are mainstreamed into professional knowledge sharing settings.…”

“…Knowledge sharing sites like Stack Exchange and Wikipedia, unlike other social media sites, grew from the commons-based and collaborative contentment creation movements (Menking et al, 2019;Reagle, 2013). The basic format of the site is a questions and answers forum, where users can upvote and downvote posts, and earn badges for their activities.…”

“…Stack Exchange dominates Google searches for information about coding and programming, and therefore, much like Wikipedia, has a strong epistemic power (Menking et al, 2019). Arguably, this site can be considered influenced by geek masculinities, both by its identity as a programming community, and by its situation as part of the creative commons movement (Menking et al, 2019).…”

Understanding how and why online professional knowledge sharing communities develop issues with gender inclusion is essential to building safe and respectful environments. Trans and nonbinary gender identities are under constant threat and scrutiny, and trans people frequently face harms in online environments. Through digital ethnography, I explore how an international online programming community, Stack Exchange, responded to the challenges of implementing trans and nonbinary inclusive language policies. I discuss the rhetorical strategies and silencing tactics deployed by the community in response to policy changes. The analysis draws on Dotson’s concept of testimonial smothering to argue that epistemic violence prevents dialogue about the importance of respecting preferred pronouns. The paper concludes with reflections on the implementation of pronoun policies in international communities.

“…Provocations have previously been used to stimulate discussions and critical thought among the HCI community, usually for large groups who historically have been overlooked by the community [1,29,32,40]. Previous research using provocations includes a study articulating social relations and transnational engagements through an African standpoint in HCI [1], "un-useless" playful and provocative suggestions to enhance digital TV [32], and the design of future intimate technologies for women during menopause [40].…”

Research on how lived experiences with technology intersect with home and work are core themes within HCI. Prior work has primarily focused on conventional life and work in Western countries. However, the unconventional is becoming conventional-several rising subcultures are coming into prominence due to socio-economic pressures, aided by social media. One example-#vanlife-is now practised by an estimated three million people in North America. #vanlife combines travel, home, and work by their occupants (vanlifers) living full-time in cargo vans that they usually convert themselves into living spaces. We present a portrait of vanlifers' current technology practices gleaned through~200 hours of fieldwork and interviews. Following a thematic analysis of our data, we identified unique opportunities for integrating technology across culture, design, homesteading, offline organization, and gaming. We have distilled these opportunities into eleven provocations to inspire critical design and informed inquiry for technological interventions for #vanlife.

“…However, Wikipedia coverage of science topics is driven by the interests of its editors (Halavais 2008), indicating that these editors are simply leveraging Wikipedia guidelines to ensure articles reflect their own biases. Furthermore, new editors or editors attempting to reduce existing biases sometimes receive hostility and harassment from other Wikipedians (Menking et al 2019), thus perpetuating systemic biases on Wikipedia and in its editor base and ultimately maintaining power for privileged identities (Shaw and Hargittai 2018). The members of WP L&O do not tolerate discrimination or harassment in any form and encourage contributions to aquatic Wikipedia pages to reduce systemic biases.…”

Wikipedia can help resolve information inequality in the aquatic sciences

Generation of and access to scientific information have traditionally been limited to those with privilege or power. The internet, and the development of Wikipedia, has revolutionized the way information is shared by allowing everyone connected to the internet to generate and access content. However, the scientific community has not taken full advantage of this information dissemination paradigm. This is particularly true in the aquatic sciences, as is evidenced by the scarcity and low quality of aquatic information on Wikipedia. We argue that societies, institutions, and scientists should prioritize and incentivize contributing to Wikipedia in parallel to traditional scientific outlets to increase both equity and efficiency in transferring aquatic scientific information among our community and to the public.
