Gendering Surveillance Theory: Insights from the eGirls Project
Exploring the intersection of gender and surveillance theory through the eGirls Project, this presentation delves into how women are objectified and subjected to the male gaze in online social media platforms. It discusses disruptive narratives and alternatives to discriminatory stereotypes, challenging socially-imposed modesty norms. Drawing from feminist, critical race, and queer theory, it highlights the in/visibility and objectification of marginalized identities in the context of surveillance studies.
