Feminist Search Engine

description

A digital interface that invites users to explore different ways of interacting with archives by asking themselves the question: Why are the authors of the books I read so white, so masculine, so Eurocentric? The tool was developed as part of a "Unlearning My Library Bookshelf Research" project and works as an awareness tool to spark conversations about the inclusion and exclusion of our current Western knowledge economy. This feminist research tool invites us all to reflect on our own research and how it can be guided by our own prejudices and omissions.
