FACT///.Mapping Feminists Coding Practices Symposium

This event is part of the ‘Feminist Approaches to Computational Technology: Read, Write, Code’ programme,  co-led and co-organised by Dr Cécile Chevalier and Dr Sharon Webb as part of the Feminist Approaches to Technology the network, known asFACT///..FACT///.network was born from a desire to form and support a community around issues related to representation, diversity and inclusion within the broad area of computational practices (e.g. coders, DIY coders, programmers) and thinking. It seeks to create an active network and community that supports and encourage alternative demographics in current digital spaces, environments and practices from which computational thinking is made possible.

Fubara-Manuel/Nelson with Chevalier/Webb

‘Mapping Feminists Coding Practices’, a one-day symposium at the Sussex Humanities Lab, University of Sussex, is the first event of  our ‘<A HREF="http://fact.network/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Feminist Approaches to Computational Technology</A>: 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 <A HREF="https://www.chase.ac.uk/events/2019/11/20/factmapping-feminists-coding-practices-symposium" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">CHASE Doctoral Training Partnership</A> and the <A HREF="http://www.sussex.ac.uk/shl/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Sussex Humanities Lab</A>, University of Sussex.
