Folks gather together for events set up by Tema Genus at Linköping University. This workshop/conference examined the socio-techno-pedagogical communications needed to set into motion a new BA/MA distance learning program in Gender Studies to be hubbed at Linköping. A lively panel of Swedish researchers, graduate students, IT folks, game developers and feminist critics commented on and extended discussion and analysis begun with three keynote presentations by scholars from the UK and US.

Together with others who attended and created the event, we were: Gill Kirkup (Centre for the Study of Educational Technologies and the Computers and Learning Research Group at Open Univ, UK), Katie King, (Feminist technoscience, including cyberculture and technology, Women's Studies at the University of Maryland), Erna Kotkamp (member of Athena-cyber-feminist-gender studies-activists, Utrecht University), Annika Olofsdotter Bergström (game designer, project leader of feminist Super-Marit-game, Gender and Technology Luleå University), Åsa Rosenberg (expert on Second Life, PhD-student in Sociology, Göteborg University), Redi Koobak (PhD-student at Tema Genus, Linköping University), Ana Valdés (author, debater, game nerd and critic), Anna Söderström (Head of ICT Studio at Linköping University).
