Digital Feminisms will explore the unique ways that feminist activism and theory are impacted by the increasing digital nature of our world. Course materials will cover feminist engagement with the internet, new media, and technological innovations from the late 70s to the present. Students will engage with the strengths and challenges that digital media create for feminist theory and activism. A particular focus will be on how digital technology has been taken up within feminist visual art practices and contemporary analysis of gender and identity in the age of artificial intelligence.
