2018. Caribbean Cyber-feminisms: Redefining the Trenches.
Format: Master Class and Symposium. Cyberspace and social media offer a range of opportunities for feminist consciousness raising and movement building to advance gender justice and gender equity. Social media reach, speed, accessibility, momentum, cost effectiveness, variability, adaptability, and creativity can be used to enhance the impact of outreach and activism. In June 2018, the IGDS brought together Caribbean cyberfeminists for an unprecedented opportunity to build and evaluate the capacity and impact of online feminist consciousness raising and movement building.
