what's this all about?

Cyberfeminism_Creativity_Connectivity is a special topics course taught by Krista Hoefle in the Department of Art at Saint Mary's College (Notre Dame, IN). This wiki functions as a collaborative research space where students, faculty, and visitors can investigate the conventions, themes, tools and techniques of cyberfeminist writers and artists. In addition to reading and discussing contemporary cybertheory and cyberfeminist fiction, students will be creating studio projects based on their perspectives and in response to the creative research developed here.
