FACT///.Mapping Feminists Coding Practices Symposium
Event Information
Description
‘Mapping Feminists Coding Practices’, a one-day symposium at the Sussex Humanities Lab, University of Sussex, is the first event of our ‘Feminist Approaches to Computational Technology: Read, Write, Code’ programme that explores feminist coding practices and the historic context of feminism and technology. It also seeks to investigate some of the affordances and resistances of computational technology. Its aim is to develop a wider understanding of current practices and research which make positive interventions into and within computation, in its widest possible interpretation, from a feminist perspective. The event is supported by the CHASE Doctoral Training Partnership and the Sussex Humanities Lab, University of Sussex.
