Associate Professor Avery Edenfield and Technical Communication& Rhetoric PhD students Ryan Cheek and Sam Clem have recently published “Trans* Vulnerability and Digital Research Ethics: A Qubit Ethical Analysis of Transparency Activism” in the proceedings of SIGDOC '21: The 39th ACM International Conference on Design of Communication. Their article on digital research ethics compares two transparency activist organizations—Wikileaks and DDoSecrets—to introduce “qubit ethics,” a trans*material, trans-corporeal ethics of care as praxis within vulnerable online communities. They demonstrate how this unique approach to research design allows for the complex entanglements that is trans* life, particularly digital life. They present clear take-aways for qubit-ethics informed social justice research.
