Wikipedia talk:Education program archive/The New School/Collaborations in Feminism and Technology (Fall 2014)/Course description

This course is part of a learning experiment called a DOCC: Distributed Open Collaborative Course. This DOCC was initiated last year by FemTechNet, an activated network of scholars, artists and students who work on, with, and at the borders of technology, science, and feminism in a variety of fields including STS, Media and Visual Studies, Art, Women’s, Queer, and Ethnic Studies. Course topics address a range of issues and themes drawn from the history of feminist engagement with science and technology and from contemporary feminist work in technology and media. The course also provides students the opportunity to actively participate in the shaping of the DOCC, a model built on the understanding that expertise is distributed throughout a network, among participants situated in diverse institutional contexts, and within heterogeneous material, geographic, and national settings. This nodal course will use materials created and shared in FemTechNet, while its students also contribute back to the network, taking part in important conversations about feminism, technology and the collaborative nature of learning in a digital age.

This semester across the network, the DOCC nodal courses are focusing on “Collaborations in Feminism and Technology.” This means that we will spend significant time figuring out how to create meaningful collaborations not only in our class, but also with other students, instructors, learners and members of the FemTechNet community.
