On April 4-6, 2013, the Five Colleges Women's Studies Research Center will be celebrating its 21st anniversary with a symposium entitled Mediating Public Spheres: Genealogies of Feminist Knowledge in the Digital Age. Since many alumni FCSWRC Research Associates are based internationally, and because the Center would like to make the event available to members of the wider public who cannot attend in person, LITS will be collaborating with the FCWSRC to broadcast select events all over the world via online streaming. Additionally, in order to make workshops easily accessible to students across the Five Colleges, LITS will also be providing videoconference support for many workshops.
The symposium will feature keynote speakers such as Lisa Nakamura, author of Digitizing Race: Visual Cultures of the Internet and Race After the Internet, and independent filmmaker and grassroots feminist activist Sonali Gulati, director of the documentary film I am.
LITS is thrilled to be collaborating with the FCWSRC on this event! We hope to see you there.
PS: Ever wonder what what a feminist take on a MOOC would look like? A DOCC! And you can learn about it from Anne Balsalmo and Alex Juhasz at the upcoming symposium.
