A workshop-based event to consider what could make digital technology and digital spaces better for queer people.
This event is targeted towards academics and stakeholders invested in the relationship between digital spaces and queer identities. Over the course of a day, we will hold several conversations focused on different aspects of the digital world to think about how they relate to queer identities. This workshop is intended to be a way for academics and stakeholders to consider what could make digital technology and digital spaces better for queer people? What could a research or intervention agenda look like in this area?
