feminist theorist, biologist, and philosopher of science. her situated knowledges argues that all knowledge is embodied, positioned, and partial. claiming otherwise is the god trick, the false promise of an objective view from nowhere.
staying with the trouble: learning to live and work well with what i have, in the conditions i actually inhabit, not the conditions i wish i had. build for the actual machine, the actual workflow, and the actual hands.
situated knowledge is the direct inheritance from haraway. i take partiality as a strength, not a limitation. my tools are made for where i am, by who i am.
