Please join us for a joint CMCI-DDH workshop where we will explore how fanfiction empowers users and allows them to creatively and critically engage with, expand, and even transform gender roles and identities. We have speakers from CMCI and DDH at King’s, plus Oxford and SOAS London to discuss a wide range of literacy and fan studies-related topics: multiliteracies, fans’ information practices, Chinese Tongrezhi fans as prosumers, and the expansion of gendered genre boundaries by Harry Potter fanwriters.
This workshop will ultimately be organized in an unconference format, meaning that we are inviting a great deal of audience participation. We would like this to be a space for collaborative meaning-making! Breakfast, lunch, and snacks will be provided, and the workshop will be followed by a short reception. This is an open event, so please feel free to circulate widely!
