Course Description
This course explores the intersection of gender, political economy, and platform technologies. We will think about the role that gender plays in the distribution of wealth and power in an increasingly platform-mediated world. We ask, in what ways do shifts in technology reify, disrupt, or intensify gender-based inequities? What implications do platforms have for the already raced, classed, and gendered ways we live and work?
