ABSTRACT
Woodward is Director of the Walter Chapin Simpson Center for the Humanities at the University of Washington and has been a pioneering voice for taking public scholarship, feminist activism, and the digital humanities seriously. In her chapter, Woodward highlights three prominent feminist interventions into participatory media – the art of Sharon Daniel, the ongoing community organizing of Womxn Who Rock, and the dispersed collectives of FemTechNet – while emphasizing two themes of central importance to the overall claims of this book: the first, collaboration, is woven throughout the volume in both explicit and implicit ways, while the second, affect, remains largely implied until Woodward’s intervention.
