FPT as a Critical Perspective & Analysis of Technology

FPT views technologies in two ways: on one hand, technology has resulted in new issues for women and in new permutations of women's issues; on the other hand, technology provides new solutions and approaches to addressing women's issues. It grounds new technologies to women's issues, interrogating how women's realities influence how technologies are developed, used, appropriated and benefitted from as well as how technologies are changing women's realities. It also looks at technologies with a strategic and creative eye, assessing how they can be developed and appropriated to support and facilitate women's rights agendas.

As a perspective, it does not define what the conclusions and issues are. Rather, it poses questions and issues that would lead to exploring and interrogating technologies from feminist perspectives. Some of the questions include:
How has user-generated content (as facilitated by the internet) changes women's representation in media?

  • What are the new ways of and spaces for women's building on the internet?
  • How have women's issues changed as a result of our increasingly technology-driven cultures?
  • Is online communications secure for women?
  • Who controls technologies?
  • How can women's rights activists benefit from new technologies?
  • What does 'control over technology' mean?
