Amelia Cousins Greenhall is an American feminist tech blogger. She cofounded feminist tech blog and publication Model View Culture with Shanley Kane. Greenhall is co-founder and Executive Director of Double Union, a feminist women-only hackerspace in San Francisco, with Valerie Aurora, and is a Quantified Self enthusiast.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][excessive citations] Greenhall is the publisher and co-founder of Open Review Quarterly, a literary journal on modern culture (founded in September 2010).
Prior to co-founding Model View Culture in November 2013, Greenhall was a user experience designer, user interface designer and data scientist in Seattle.[10] She left Model View Culture in May 2014.
Born in Hawaii and raised in Arizona, Greenhall is a 2009 studio art and electrical engineering graduate of Vanderbilt University in Tennessee. She went on to earn a master's degree in public health at the University of Washington.[1][11]
We're making progress, whether it's women like Adi Tartako who grew Houzz to a multi-billion dollar business, Tracy Chou who has moved up the engineering ranks of some of the Valley's best companies, Gina Bianchini who isn't afraid of failure or women like Amelia Greenhall and Shanley Kane, the co-founders of Model View Culture, who rightly decided there needed to be a whole publication dedicated to the systematic marginalization of certain groups in tech.
One of those is Shanley Kane, who along with Amelia Greenhall, left the mainstream tech industry last year to found Model View Culture, a media company providing writing about technology, culture and diversity with a site as crisp and clean as the prose it contains.
Amelia Greenhall and Shanley Kane, technologists and writers, started Model View Culture, a publication about technology, culture and diversity, in which Ms. Kane recently wrote about how myths of tech culture work to "exclude and marginalize minorities."
Greenhall, 26, a programmer at a startup in San Francisco who runs the Quantified Self Meetup group there, calls QS a "mindfulness practice"; For seven years, Greenhall has tracked her weight every day and then calculated a 10-day running average.
