This class explores the relationship between gender and technology in the digital age. We will consider the countless ways modern technology shapes our attitudes toward and experiences of sex, power, play, and work, and even the way digital technology shapes our bodies. Other topics will include the representation of gender in digital media, feminism and protest in digital spaces, queer gaming, and gender performance through social media.
My first digital studies class (and hopefully not my last) focused on the history of the intersections between gender and technology. I was asked to examine many of my assumptions about technology and engage with gender theory to a greater degree than ever before. The website for this course can be found here.
My essays for this class are here.
