Here are links to projects I am currently working on which cross my interests in media literacy, film/media history/theory, feminism, and social justice questions. The digital era is an exciting one that promises a democracy of tools for storytelling, history, and social engagement.
Feminism 3.0 features guest bloggers concerning issues of Praxis and New Research on Media Art History and Theory as well as announcements, live blogs, and podcasts.
Transmedia Activism co-authored with Lina Srivastava is a resource site for cross-media strategies for social change
Reclaiming the Archive: Feminism and Film History is a collection of essays by international scholars that examines a range of issues (reception, authorship, stars, postfeminism, digital interventions) circulating around gender and film history. The site, still in progress, will extend the discussion undertaken by the book. Wayne State University Press is scheduled to publish the book in Spring 2010.
