Webcast: Empowering Women in a Knowledge Society
From the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard Law School. This presentation took place on Tuesday, November 28, 2006 as part of the Berkman Luncheon Series. The program runs about 80 minutes and can be downloaded as an MP3 file.
Nancy Hafkin is a leading scholar on gender and information technology, and she will speak about the possibilities for Cinderellas and Cyberellas in the 21st century. Cyberella is fluent in the uses of technology, comfortable using and designing computer technology, and working in virtual spaces. Cinderella works in the basement of the knowledge society with little opportunity to reap its benefits. How will we work to support and develop Cyberellas? Ms. Hafkin has compiled the tales of Cinderella or Cyberella in a new book.
