#HelloESR #Introduction Hello from “Blood and Data Flows: Exploring MenstruTech,” a French ANR-funded research project led by @moossye .

We study menstrual cycle tracking apps from the perspective of user practices as well as their back-end infrastructures. We are currently wrapping up a year-long investigation with app designers and with scientists who conduct research using the data these platforms generate. Our work is grounded in #Feminist and #Queer #STS, and examines how data derived from gendered bodily experiences circulate—and how knowledge is produced from them.

Oh, and btw, we also monitor how conservative and neo-fascist movements weaponize digital technologies against minorities… because we enjoy keeping things light and optimistic.
