This is a registration form to the panel discussion "Doing Digital Feminisms: Media Making and Political Action" led by Jessa Lingel and Jessalyn Keller on November 16th, from 3 to 5PM.
Contemporary feminisms are largely understood as something people do using digital media inside the infrastructures of digital media platforms. Today, making media and getting connected online powerfully define notions of “the political.” Drawing from feminist media scholar Alison Piepmeier’s ask of feminist scholars to “come with different expectations of what political work and activism look like,” this panel considers what digital feminisms do and how they transform the meanings, practices, and experiences of doing political work. Connected by their research interests in feminist coalitional thought and practice, panelists Jessa Lingel (University of Pennsylvania) and Jessalyn Keller (University of Calgary) will present short talks to prompt discussion of what digital feminisms make happen, and how they define social change and movement organizing around feminist media making. Panelist Carrie Rentschler (McGill University) will moderate a discussion of these topics with the panelists and facilitate a question-and-answer period with the audience.
