This talk explores how the web can spur on feminist movements and further women’s rights on a local and global level. It is relevant to anyone, male or female, seeking work in the creative tech sector, who has an interest in making it fairer for everyone.
Gender is a sign of power and identity (or lack of it). We need to talk about and challenge expectations surrounding gender and technology using the means we have. The internet has the potential to both reinforce and re-balance social inequalities, and is an increasingly important influence over our social, political, economic and cultural lives.
There will be time afterwards for Q&A and networking.
This event is delivered by UAL Futures, Teaching and Learning Exchange.
This event is a part of Graduate Futures Week and is free to all UAL: University of the Arts London students, graduates and staff.
