*What is the Feminist Scholars Digital Workshop & How Does it Work?*
Founded in 2013, the Feminist Scholars Digital Workshop (FSDW) is a
biennial, online, interdisciplinary workshop for individuals working on
feminist-oriented research projects. The workshop is sponsored by HASTAC
and James Madison University's School of Writing, Rhetoric and Technical
Communication.
Throughout the workshop, participants create and set in motion their own
agendas. There is no program for the workshop and there are no
presentations. Participants collaborate in small groups to exchange
research projects (e.g., articles, webtexts, syllabi, proposals) for
feedback and peer review. Small groups are designed to be interdisciplinary
and to encourage feminist mentorship by bringing together scholars with
varying levels of experience and expertise.
To accommodate diverse schedules and time zones, all peer review activities
take place asynchronously, with the exception of keynote talks and online
meetings that individual peer review groups elect to set up.
*How Much Does it Cost & Who Should Attend?*
The workshop is free and open to anyone interested in feminist research,
whether they are students, professors, para-academics, or non-academics.
*When & Where Does it Take Place?*
This year's workshop takes place Monday, June 12—Sunday, June 18, 2017. The
majority of workshop activities will take place via Slack
<https://slack.com/>, although we encourage participants to also share
ideas on HASTAC & Twitter (#FSDW17).
*What Do I Need for the Workshop?*
Ideally, you will bring a work-in-progress project (e.g., journal article,
syllabus, dissertation chapter, webtext). However, you are not required to
have a project to participate and can instead serve as a reader/respondent
for others' work.
*Keynote Speakers*
This year we are proud to host as our keynote speakers *Dr. Erin Frost*,
Assistant Professor at East Carolina University, and *Ms. Jenny Ungbha Korn*,
scholar of Identity & Media at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Ms.
Korn's workshop, *Intersectional Feminist Solidarity in Networked
Practices: Shared Online Experiences and Strategies Involving Feminist
Identity and the Digital*, will offer participants the opportunity to
examine how digital practices influence intersectional feminist work. Dr.
Frost's workshop, *Feminist Credibility: Negotiating Subjectivity in Public
Spaces*, will examine the ways women’s experiences are often treated as
less credible than other perspectives in supposedly “objective” and
“neutral” spaces, from research to politics.
Ms. Korn's workshop will take place Monday, June 12, followed by Dr.
Frost's workshop on Thursday, June 15.
Both virtual workshops are free and open to the public. You do not need to
register for the Feminist Scholars Digital Workshop to attend. Additional
information is forthcoming.
