#Gender – Platforms, Gender & (Digital) Public Spheres
On social media issues such as gender-inclusive language, LGBTIQ+ rights, and gender identity are highly contested. However, gender-related issues not only spark heated debates involving a variety of different actors but public spheres themselves are marked by gendered power dynamics. This course looks at gender as an important structural element within (digital) public spheres. Participants will explore theories and concepts of (digital) public spheres and critically analyze the representation of gender in (digital) public spheres, including the portrayal of women and LGBTQ+ individuals.
The course will take place in four blocks and one preparatory session plus one closing session.
