FELIX (Finding Inequity in Literature and Experiment)
FELIX is a critical reading tool we developed for BI510 IRHS to help identify hidden biases in a text. It is a structured approach to reading a text that has the following phases:
- Annotate – label key passages with a controlled vocabular of hashtags
- Analysis – answer a set of short answer questions designed to identify potential sources of bias in the text
- Synthesis – a short narrative reflections about the article guided by a scaffolding question
