* '''Course Description''': This course focuses on using digital tools for social change in our highly mediated, globally connected world. The course fulfills the Diversity Requirement by considering the ways in which race and gender function in the world, how these issues are mapped onto digital space and, finally, the possibilities for intervention using digital media.

This semester our focus will be on issues of gender and sexual equality with special attention to feminist media praxis. Our community partner for this course will be the feminist technology and education collaborative group, FemTechNet (http://femtechnet.org). Our projects will focus on issues of representation, women media makers, and alternative strategies for storytelling and writing history. We will begin with the reclaiming of women’s media history via “wikistorming” activity and conclude by developing a cross-platform story employing “speculative fiction” or counter-histories of gender representation.
