This open letter from #FemEdTech calls on editors and boards of academic journals to "acknowledge and mitigate the disproportionate impact of the current COVID-19 pandemic on women researchers and scholars." They note that in addition to being disproportionately being impacted in the workplace, women have taken on "more of the emotional labour of caring and pastoral support." It points to a recently published open access (here) book, Data and Feminism, is "informed by intersectional feminist thought" and invites readers " to question who has power and who has not, and to support challenges to those differentials of power."
