(Re)Presentation: Selves, Communities, and Digital Transformations
From social media fandom to activism, from political actors to hate groups—and to the corporeal selves who inhabit these social locations—what they all have in common are the use of new technologies to create community, disseminate propaganda, and to realise one’s own self.
We welcome the public to join us for a conversation about [gender transition] and [gender critical feminism], [TikTok trends] and [tradwives], and the ways in which the digital facilitates social goods and social ills.
This event brings together interdisciplinary scholars from the USA, Australia, Germany, and Wales, all of whom are researching the intersecting angles of identity, gender, and the place of the digital in our terrestrial lives.
Featured speakers include:
Dr Gen Eickers (University of Bayreuth, Germany)
Dr Tracy Llanera (University of Connecticut, USA)
Dr Louise Richardson-Self (University of Tasmania, Australia)
Dr Meena Saverimuttu (Cardiff University, Wales)
Moderator: Dr Lucy Osler (Cardiff University, Wales)
Drinks and canapés from 6.30pm for a 7pm start.
