Feminist Interventions in Participatory Media

<p><em>Feminist Interventions in Participatory Media</em> is an edited collection that brings together feminist theory and participatory media pedagogy. It asks what if anything is inherently feminist about participatory media? Can participatory media practices and pedagogies be used to reanimate or enact feminist futures? And finally what reimagined feminist pedagogies are opened up (or closed down) by participatory media across various platforms spaces scales and practices? </p><p>Each chapter looks at a specific example where the author(s) have used participatory media to integrate technology and feminist praxis in production and teaching. The case studies originate from sites as varied as community organizations to large scale collaborations between universities public media and social movements. They offer insights into the continuities and disjunctures which stem from the adoption of and adaption to participatory media technologies. </p><p>In complicating and dismantling perceptions of participatory media as inherently liberatory <i>Feminist Interventions in Participatory Media</i> curbs the excesses of such claims and highlights those pedagogical methods and processes that do hold liberatory potential. This collection thus provides a roadmap toward (re)imagining feminist futures while grounding that journey in the histories practices and past insights of feminism and media studies.</p>
