Feminism in the Digital Age: What's next?

King's College London

May 14

King's Building Room: River Room Strand Campus, Strand, London, WC2R 2LS

The KCL Gender Studies Network hosts a roundtable discussion exploring the intersections of technology, gender, and global power dynamics.

As digital infrastructures increasingly shape our social, political, and cultural landscapes, this event brings together leading scholars to critically examine how these transformations are redefining feminism—and what they portend for the future of society.

Through a dynamic roundtable format, our speakers will engage with pressing questions: How does the digital age challenge or reinforce feminist movements? What opportunities and risks do emerging technologies pose for gender equality? And how can we collectively envision a more inclusive digital future?

Join us for a thought-provoking conversation that bridges academia, activism, and innovation.
