[JoPP-Public] Introduction and a proposal for a special issue!

[Sophie Toupin, Ms.]

Dear all,
First of all, thanks Johan for looping me in to the Journal of Peer Production. Glad to be part of this great endeavor!

My name is Sophie. I am currently working for Media at McGill, a hub for research, scholarship and public outreach on media, technology and culture at McGill University in Montreal. I am also an activist involved in a variety of projects locally and internationally. As a case in point, here is a project I am working on: https://transhackfeminist.noblogs.org/ My current research interests focus on feminist practices within social movements in addition to feminist, queer and trans hacker culture.  I'd be keen to spearhead (with one or two other editors) a special issue of the Journal of Peer Production on the broad topic of feminism and peer production. I believe it could be of value to have an issue on such topic as it would continue to enrich the debate on peer production and shed light on particular feminist practices.  I'd be happy to hear what people on this list think about this idea.

Looking forward to hearing from you,

All the best
Sophie
