Meeting
largely in cyberspace, the Wired RIG seeks to apply new media technology
to research on women and gender.
The Wired RIG provides
web publication services to the Center for the Study of Women in Society
(CSWS) and to the RIGs and initiatives associated with CSWS. We create
web sites for CSWS conferences and events, continue to work on the Digital
Teaching Unit Websites (VRB) of the Feminist Humanities Project, and
developing virtual "rooms" for the FHP's "Teaching and Tea," and the Virtual Resource Bank. Our virtual bank of texts and images are related to such topics as:Hildegard of Bingen, Abigail Scott Duniway, Medicine and Gender in Medieval Europe and other notables.
In spring 1998, the Wired RIG hosted Glenn Dibert-Himes for a workshop
on using Authorware© in the humanities and for educational instruction.
There is a listserv
for Wired RIG members.
Our RIG is a meeting
"place" for people interested in exploring the Web's use in promoting research
on women and gender.
Although we are not currently meeting as a group, the links from our site acknowledge a number of projects spawned from the original idea of this RIG.
