21 - Monetization over Justice w/ ELLEN KAUFMAN

This week we begin with a fairly heavy check-in where Nneka and
Shelleena share their collective mental noise surrounding
anti-Black racism, white supremacy, and the murder of Ahmaud
Arbery. They both also share their successes for the week and
gratitude for the loved ones in their lives. Then, we are so
excited to welcome a very special guest to the
@WYSWpodcast, ELLEN KAUFMAN
(@elmkauf). Ellen is a doctoral student in
Informatics at Indiana University and a graduate research
assistant at the Kinsey Institute. Her research focuses on the
implications of technologically-mediated intimacy for the future
of erotic labor, social robotics, and interpersonal
relationships. On a more personal note, Ellen is also Nneka’s
(soon to be) daughter-in-law, and we could not be happier to have
her as a part of the extended @WomenatthecentrE
family! Ellen shares some of her research on sex-tech with us,
and chats with us about what accountability, ethics, and digital
literacy mean within this field of work.


This week we’re drinking Sandbanks Riesling VQA, Inniskillin Late
Autumn Riesling VQA, Oyster Bay Chardonnay, & El Abuelo
Organic Sauvignon-Verdejo. We gave these wines a buzz rating of
5/5, 4.5/5, 5/5, and 5/5 respectively.
