The Centre together with CASS co-organised the 5th Sino-Nordic Women and Gender Conference on the topic of gender and communication as well as the 2nd Sino-Swedish ICT4D conference. The conferences gathered a total of 85 participants and dealt with issues related to gender equality, representation, voice and acitivism in old and new media. Annika Pissin, Barbara Schulte and Marina Svensson from the Digital China project presented papers on, respectively, mummy blogs, ICT and education, and environmental activism and ICTs. Further information and insights from the conference will soon be be available on our blog, and for more information about the project see the project site.
