Our Tenets

We value using technology intentionally to build communities and enhance learning, while also examining the “why” in addition to the “what” when working with technology and data.

We value connecting to the personal and to communities outside of academia, while also uncovering the causes of inequality and leveraging resources toward undoing power structures

We value our work in examining how gender, intersecting with other social categories, structures our lives, learning, and knowledge production, access to resources and information.

We value cultivating self-care and boundaries.

We value being treated agentic co-educators and promoting cooperative learning, even when this is more difficult for us.

We value building equity, trust, mutual respect, and support
