The Internet as a Tool for Feminist Development in Post-Revolutionary Tunisia

Presenter: 
Taylor Mulcahey
Event Status: 
As Scheduled
Date: 
Mon, 11/21/2016 - 13:00

In 2011, Tunisia experienced a successful revolution that overthrew the government, and ended a system of state-supported feminism that had existed since its independence in 1956. My project explores how women are using the internet today to create new forms of grassroots feminism, independent of the state system, by analyzing three online sources: a blog, Facebook group, and online image.
