Katherine D. Harris, assistant professor of English and comparative literature at San Jose State University, lectures on “Digitizing our Feminist Selves: Remediating the ‘Archive’ with Digital Interventions” at 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 30 in Garrison Theater, 231 E. 10th St. The event is free and open to the public.
In her talk, Harris gives examples of how she and her students use digital devices to empower women’s voices. Harris explores why feminists are not more fully using digital media platforms to amplify their voices.
Harris’ research and teaching interests include the gothic novel, feminist theory and women’s studies and British romantic-era women’s poetry. She has a bachelor’s degree in English from California State University at Los Angeles, a master’s degree in English from New York University and a doctorate degree in English from the City University of New York.
This event is part of the Scripps College Humanities Institute’s fall lecture series, “Social Media/Social Change: Negotiating Access, Control and Unrest in the Information Age.” Throughout the fall semester, distinguished scholars and experts explore, both at a local and a global level, the big-picture implications and the practical realities surrounding social networking and online collaborations.
