Okay, Fediverse academics. This spring, I'm teaching a class called "Gender and Technology, Gender as Technology" in Harvard's Women, Gender and Sexuality program.
If you teach a related class, I'd love your syllabus, and regardless, I'd love your recommendations for work that you love that would be good for undergrads.
Please boost for reach! Class description below.
