Women Writing in Digital Spaces: This course will explore the ways in which new media and digital geographies both open up new possibilities and create new challenges for women writing in public spaces. We will examine the ways in which women have used digital media to create new kinds of writing, and also the backlash against women speaking in digital spaces through movements such as ‪#‎gamergate‬. We will also look at, and work to remediate, the under-representation of women and LGBTQA persons in online forums such as Wikipedia. To successfully complete this course, students will need ready access to both a computer and the Internet.

This Course Page will serve as Project Management space for a Wikipedia Assignment in three sections of this course, 2 taught by Sarah Einstein and 1 by Matthewvetter. In this assignment, students will edit and create articles as needed in the following WikiProjects and Taskforces:


 * WikiProject_Countering_systemic_bias
 * WikiProject_Countering_systemic_bias/Gender_gap_task_force
 * Wikiproject LGBT/WikiProject LGBT studies,
 * WikiProject Gender Studies,
 * and WikiProject Video games.

This Course Page is under construction. Check back for updates as we get closer to Spring Semester.
