Gender and its Digital Discontents: Decolonial Perspectives from the Global South
About the Conference
This conference will explore the dynamic relationships between gender, digital technologies, and the evolving virtual landscapes. As digital spaces continue to reshape society, they also bring new challenges and opportunities, especially regarding how gender is negotiated and understood in these spaces. The digital age has led to the transformation of various aspects of social life, but these transformations are deeply gendered. From online interactions and media consumption to digital economies and technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI), gendered experiences of digital spaces are marked by opportunities for empowerment as well as risks of exploitation, discrimination, and violence. As gender scholars, it is crucial to critically engage with these dynamics, examining how digital spaces intersect with various gendered realities.
We invite contributions from a wide array of disciplines, including, but not limited to, gender studies, media studies, sociology, political science, philosophy, and information technology that address these intersections. We encourage both theoretical and empirical approaches, as well as works that offer innovative critiques and decolonial re-imaginings of digital infrastructures and algorithmic governance. Papers can explore theoretical, empirical, or applied perspectives, and we encourage both individual and collaborative papers.
