Based on Donna Haraway, Dr Danya Glabau explains how cyborg feminists see risks and opportunities of technologies. She argues that we need to be mindful about who is creating technologies and how they’re being used.
Susanne MacLeod’s EDC lifestream
Just another Education and Digital Cultures 2020 site?
Hi Susanne,
Interesting talk. Val Muscat’s blog alos has a good article on lifestream on Feminism and Cyberculture, which you might find similar to this video, particularly the line “information technology often presents itself to us as potentially liberating when in fact our actual interactions with it often reinforce conventional social structures of domination”.

Dr. Glabau also asks this question in the video that you linked. “Who is creating these technologies, to what end, and who is receiving opportunity or repression”?
Thanks, Adrienne! I’ll check out Val’s post.
