Affiche de l'événement  Le leadership féministe pour briser les préjugés

Présentation

Le Centre de recherche en droit, technologie et société présente :

Unsurprisingly, many scientific writings on the maker movement show that women face enormous biases; the same in STEM. Beyond these gender biases, Thomas Mboa had the opportunity to meet some exceptional women during his thesis fieldwork in makerspaces including Burkina Faso, Cameroon and Senegal. The leadership that these women demonstrated  deserves special recognition. Thomas Mboa documented the resilient strategies of these women in different makerspaces in Africa to propose a framework to ensure greater inclusion and diversity in the maker movement.
