Creative Dialogue: Internet Identity - Women in a Virtual World March 1, 2010
College Park, Maryland 20742
When we log on to a computer network we are able to put our 'self' on line. How do women today choose to represent themselves in their online identities? Michelle Rowley from the Department of Women’s Studies moderates this discussion with Alice Marwick, one of the leading researchers in the study of internet identity, and Gesel Mason, whose new work Women, Sex & Desire: Sometimes You Feel Like A Ho, Sometimes You Don’t, is a multi-media investigation on how women navigate sex, desire, choice, and perception. How do women and teenage girls choose to define themselves in a virtual world? This discussion explores some of the implications related to women and the internet today from a feminist perspective.
