Section Title:
Dialogues in Feminism & Tech
Section Info:
Meets w/LIS 590 and MDIA 590. Part of a massively distributed collaborative learning experiment, this seminar investigates the intersection of gender and technoculture. Built around a shared set of recorded dialogues with preeminent thinkers and artists concerning feminisms and technologies, the course utilizes collaborative resources, texts, and even objects to examine policy, accessibility, innovation, and citizenship. Student projects may utilize Scalar (a non-linear publishing platform) or the on-campus Fab Lab to build gender-conscious technologies and networks, situating them within local, interdisciplinary, and international conversations. Through reading, discussion, writing and making, we will add to a growing and global database of materials relating feminist technologies to economies, identities, infrastructures, and movements.

Section Title:
Gender, Body, Power
Section Info:
The seminar engages the critical studies literature on power, gender and the mediated body. By taking an intersectional and Foucauldian approach, we theorize power as discourse and the mediated gendered body as raced, sexed, and class. Special theoretical emphasis will be given to how scholars across various disciplines (history, media and cinema studies, cultural studies, literary studies) think through the ways the body/bodies are defined, disciplined, governed, and consumed by publics. Meets w/MDIA 590 (CRN 61210)
