On Valentine’s Day I had the honor of giving a keynote talk at CU Boulder for Love Data Week- Project MapLemon: Representing Diverse Identities in Data. Here is the link, with captioning and transcript available: https://vimeo.com/user134045997/review/917656688/43b2cddef7

Thank you to all those who made this possible, and CU Boulder for inviting and having me!

Abstract: “MapLemon is a naturally elicited digital writing corpus most well known for its inclusion of transgender and nonbinary identities in data collection, resulting in groundbreaking discoveries about the possibility of a transgender accent, and furthermore suggesting that transgender and nonbinary people write most similarly to their gender as opposed to their sex assigned at birth. MapLemon was created with demographic diversity in mind—not just with gender, but also with respect to race, ethnicity, homeland, etcetera. Join Theodore (Teddy) Manning (pronouns: hän/hänet/hänen) to discuss how we can, as researchers, create surveys like MapLemon’s which result in these important discoveries, representing diverse identities in data, and ultimately forwarding inclusivity in data.”
