The Wife's C2E2 Panel: The Geek Girl and the Artist
The wife has become something of a gender geek activist. She has witnessed and heard plenty of frustrations regarding the under representation of female voices in
The above list is not all inclusive.
She has decided to dip her toe into the arena by putting together a panel at C2E2: The Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo, called The Geek Girl and the Artist.
A quote from the Facebook event page to whet your whistle:
Topics addressed by this panel will include (but not be limited to): how geek culture shaped the panelists interests/focuses as artists; how geek culture shaped their identities as women; how the panelists view gender norms as playing a part in geek culture and vice versa; how to take niche geek interests and use it to inform artistic expression and professional pursuits; what are negative/positive aspects the panelists have experienced within geek culture and how they relate to their identities as both women and artists/communicators.
Oh yeah, she was guest on Loot the Room podcast to promote the panel.
It should turn out be interesting!
