Everything I Needed to Know About the Web I Learned from Feminism

Type Panelinteractive panel
Venue: Austin Convention Ctr (Room 16AB)
About: Last year's panel on Gossip packed up via twitter word of mouth and was described by Get Satisfaction's Lane Becker as "the best panel I've ever seen at SXSW." This year we might top it and revive/re-frame feminism at the same time. Feminism teaches "the personal is political" and the web shows that the personal is now public. Christmas newsletters and recipes are the social media of their time, and women are the key social nodes of our culture. In her comic and though-provoking style, Heather Gold brings together amazingly smart women and the people f/k/audience to discuss what makes social networks strong and predict where they're heading next online.

Speaker Info: Heather Gold (Founder, Subvert.com), danah boyd (Researcher, Microsoft Research), (Dir, LBJ Library)
