Newcomb: Tech Zine Collection

Description

The Newcomb: Tech Zine is a yearly publication comprising the work conducted by feminist-minded technologists who make up Newcomb Institute's Technology and Digital Humanities Lab. These cohorts include the Digital Research Interns, the Information Technology Interns, the Grace Hopper Celebration grantees, the Gender and Tech grantees, and student groups. The zine examines the intersections of gender and technology. Interns share posters detailing their collaborative projects with project owners such as Tulane faculty and the New Orleans community. Interns also develop an interest article exploring a unique facet of technology through a feminist-minded approach. Grace Hopper Celebration grantees reflect on their experience attending the various educational sessions and networking events at the conference. Additionally, the zine also provides a digital environment for the Gender and Tech grantee to publish a summary of their research project and findings. This synthesis of perspectives and experiences represents the multidisciplinary efforts of the tech cohorts and provides a space for reflection, discourse, and exchange regarding tech and gender issues.
