Digital space: Current contestations over gender

Abstract

Gender and other intersectional power relations play out in new or altered ways in the digital arena. Given their growing role in shaping public opinion and discourses, social interactions in and through digital tools and platforms both reflect prevailing power relations and inequalities and offer new venues for political organizing for feminist and other social groups and movements. This panel brings together papers which tackle issues related to digital policy, algorithmic bias, artificial intelligence and other related issues from gender and intersectional perspectives. The contributions show that digital space is a contested arena where gender relations are being renegotiated and an emerging public space shaped by inputs and interventions by various actors ranging from states and tech companies to advocacy groups and individuals.
