Learning Network Webinar

I was invited to speak about some of my research area for the Learning Network Webinar 2020-2021 series.

Description of event:

For women and other marginalized groups, the issue of technology-facilitated gender-based violence (GBV) has much bigger implications than we even know. Questions of race, class, gender, ethnicity, and sexuality remains largely unexamined when it comes to technology and gendered violence. In this presentation, feminist analysis and grassroots expertise will be used to investigate these complex questions and explore the ways in which we can move forward and make meaningful change. It will present an overview of thinking through technologies to end violence against women with an intersectional lens providing examples of online activism projects taking place in Canada.

Learning Objectives: 

• To have a better understanding of why and how to apply an intersectional lens to examining technologies in ending violence against women.

• To explore the ways in which we can move forward and make meaningful change
