March 2006 - Gender & Technology
Up one levelIn our first month we want to focus on the gender related issues of technology use, production, reception and - of course - criticism. Throughout this month, we will invite several guests who are actively engaged in breaking down the conventions around the gendered aspects of technology and discuss with them about their experiences, impressions problems and naturally also the good and rewarding aspects of such activism.
- Technology related women's groups
- On our first discussion evening. we want to take a look at women's groups with a clear tech aspect. We are going to focus on computer-technology related groups, and have invited guests who are engaged in running such a group and organize larger international gatherings of like-minded women, breaking the mold of geek clubs stereotypically comprised of slightly socially inept males.
