Summary: This article expands the understanding of technology in geographies of technoscience by introducing the concept of intimate technologies, drawing from research in feminist technoscience and feminist geographies. By exploring the spatial politics of intimate technologies in three key sites - the home, the laboratory, and the clinic - the article sheds light on the overlooked small-scale technologies in geographies of technoscience.

Summary: This article explores the potential of describing things at the periphery of our attention, showing how focusing on neglected aspects can redefine care practices and make them more livable for those involved. Describing things that 'unsettle' care practices is seen as having ethico-political potential, as it can lead to a deeper understanding and support for those in need of care.

Summary: This article argues that feminist technoscience can help advance information practice scholarship by overcoming the current limitations. By embracing intersectionality and assemblage theory, applying design justice as a methodological framework, and utilizing speculative futurities, feminist technoscience offers promising directions for the field of information practice research, rooted in liberatory epistemologies. A major overhaul in how information, people, and technologies are approached is needed to achieve liberation.

Summary: This paper highlights the importance of Enactive Artificial Intelligence (eAI) as a gender-inclusive approach and emphasizes the need to address social marginalization caused by unrepresentative AI design. The study uses a multidisciplinary framework to explore the intersectionality of gender and technoscience, focusing on the subversion of gender norms in Robot-Human Interaction within AI. The results reveal the development of four ethical vectors, namely explainability, fairness, transparency, and auditability, as essential components for adopting an inclusive stance and promoting gender-inclusive AI.

Summary: While research on decolonising methodologies has been ongoing for over 20 years, the level of engagement remains uneven. Despite discussions on indigenous methodologies and decolonial thinking, the dominance of Western knowledges and research practices has created a methodological stasis. This article argues for the need to develop new critiques and concepts to further decolonial efforts, proposing the concept of methodologies-in/as-practices as a starting point that can support decolonial thinking and methodological change.

Summary: This article examines the impact of the Western scientific revolution and agricultural modernization on feminism, focusing on women scientists in Embrapa, Brazil's leading agricultural sciences organization. By filling gaps in male-dominated history, these "fringe heroines" engage in feminist struggles for more equitable and pluralistic agricultural sciences and practices. Despite facing condescending attitudes and discrimination, they persistently advocate for justice and diversity in agricultural knowledge production. The significance of their situated struggles and knowledges in the past, present, and future of Brazilian agricultural sciences deserves reflection.

Summary: This study explores critical care nurses' perceptions of non-pharmacological delirium prevention practices and the challenges associated with their implementation. The findings suggest that strict visitation policies, lack of delirium screening and training, nighttime light and noise disturbances, frequent resuscitation, and new admissions limit the implementation of non-pharmacological practices. However, case-based training, sensory stimulation protocols, and family engagement may facilitate the implementation of these practices.

Summary: This article examines the datafication of the reproductive body in India through the use of femtech mobile phone applications. It explores how these apps promise self-awareness and control through data tracking and management, but also highlights the contradictions and risks involved. The article shows how femtech reinforces gendered social hierarchies instead of dismantling them, and the narrow health standards associated with datafication marginalize certain individuals. It also critiques the lack of recognition of structural inequalities and socio-economic disadvantages in the proliferation of femtech in India, as well as the potential for commercialization and privacy breaches.

Summary: Encouraged by the popularity of feminism and the increasing precarity of living conditions, popular women's culture in the global North has shown a growing interest in self-care practices. This study takes a critical discourse analysis approach from a transdisciplinary and feminist perspective to examine the representation of self-care in women's magazines, revealing an overfeminization of self-care, the connection of self-care with consumer practices, and the perception of self-care as a utilitarian tool.
