DOCC 2014: Collaborations in Feminism and Technology

The DOCC 2014, Collaborations in Feminism & Technology models collaboration as a feminist technology through a series of connected, open learning events that will allow participants to explore DOCC resources in conversation with other FemTechNet learners.

Each week features a scheduled Online Open Office Hour (OOOH!) in which FemTechNet participants gather to discuss one of our Video Dialogues along with a set of open source readings based on the week’s theme.  Everyone is welcome!

The series also includes four Town Hall Meetings on the topic of Feminist Digital Media Praxis, International Collaboration, and Safety/Risk.

The Online Open Office Hours and the Town Hall Meetings are hosted and moderated by FemTechNet faculty and are open to anyone who wants to engage in feminist collaborative, distributive teaching and learning.
