VOICES IN THE (INFORMATION)WILDERNESS: BLACK FEMINISM(S) AND INFORMATIONAL PRACTICES

Laverne Gray, Joseph Winberry, Yiran Duan

Research output: Chapter in Book/Entry/PoemChapter

Abstract

The chapter identifies the COVID-19 pandemic as not just a public health crisis but also an information crisis. The authors argue that a deeper understanding of the role of culture in information practices is critical for the future of research and theoretical development around humanity’s relationship to information (i.e., why information is or is not created, represented, avoided, sought, retrieved, used, shared, or hidden). This chapter highlights the Black Feminist Information Community (BFIC) framework, especially the voice and information aspect of the model in the context of community justice.
