Women’s Studies Summer Technology Institute AgendaWednesday, 28 May 2014 through Saturday, 31 May 2014
The Women’s Studies Department at the University of Maryland announces a Summer Technology Institute. Four days of interactive, experiential workshops designed to expand thinking about technology in women’s studies scholarship and teaching. Each day of the institute follows a model of “learn/think/play.” We learn from experts and each other; we think together; we play together with new technologies and new ideas.
