Representation is said to matter, but I didn't see myself in the world around me growing up. Whom did I see? With whom was I supposed to identify? What about my children? And what about in children's books? What do children see? How to measure it? (a thread 🧵👇🏾) 1/n

tldr, 1/3 1. Images are an important data source. ML tools enable cost-effective content analysis. Pixel-based tools mitigate human bias classifying skin color 2. In influential children’s books, we see both inequality and change in whether race, gender, & age are represented 3/n

What We Teach About Race and Gender: Representation in Images and Text of Children’s Books | BFI

Books shape how children learn about society and norms, in part through representation of different characters. We introduce new artificial intelligence methods for systematically converting images...

Books necessarily, & by design, transmit the values of society and whose space it is. The inclusion and exclusion of different identities send messages which can contribute to how children view their own potential and that of others which can then shape subconscious defaults 6/n

A friend used the Haakaa pump and wore a loose top/cape over it. It didn't exist when I was breastfeeding, but it seemed great! Be good to yourself.

Mainstream books are more likely to show characters within a given race as lighter than their counterparts in Diversity books. In other words, even when Mainstream books include more Black or Latinx characters, readers are more likely to see them with lighter skin color 31/n

But how to systematically measure representation over a century of content? Traditional content analysis is costly and requires looking at books page-by-page So we leveraged advances in AI to convert images to data (using computer vision) & text to data (using NLP). 8/n

We say “a picture is worth a thousand words,” but images are underused in social science research despite the richness of info in them To convert images to data, we first computationally detect faces of pictured characters & then classify their skin color, race, gender, age 9/n
