About This Exhibit

Students in WGS/STS 210 Women & Gender in Science & Technology, led by Dr. Patsy Sibley in Fall 2022, were challenged to design a feminist speculative technology, incorporating concepts learned in the course with their own creative and imaginative take on technology and its possible futures. They responded with visions and prototypes (some physical, some digital) of feminist technologies that could exist in our world, adjacent presents, and alternative futures.
