✦ Introducing ✦
The Matilda + Ada + Charlotte + Emily + Mary + Betty Effect
A framework for naming and resisting the systemic forces that erase, silence, and undervalue the contributions of diverse people in science and technology — and a call to build something better in their place.
1
Caring technologies — designing AI and tech systems that include the voices of diverse people and center human wellbeing across the full spectrum of human experience.
2
Challenging bias — naming and dismantling the structural inequities baked into technological systems, datasets, and design choices.
3
Underamplified histories — uncovering and sharing the contributions of those whose work has been erased, credited to others, or never recorded at all.
4
Equitable futures — building toward a technology landscape where diverse voices don't just contribute, but shape the direction — one carebot at a time.
We are not adding diversity to technology. We are restoring what was always there.
