FemTechNet (FTN)[1] is a feminist network of scholars, artists, and activists known for its feminist, decentralized pedagogy experiments.[2] FemTechNet became the focus of various media outlets when it broadcast its efforts to "storm" Wikipedia under its "wikistorming" initiative.[3][4][5] Beyond its 2013 Wikipedia project, FemTechNet has been described as "a new approach to collaborative learning",[6] and a "feminist anti-MOOC."[7] Through its website, FemTechNet provides "resources for learning more about feminism, cyberfeminism, and feminist theories of technology, including videos with major scholars and subject matter experts, reading lists and bibliographies, projects to do with classmates or undertake on your own as a do-it-yourselfer, and syllabi from past and present FemTechNet classes."[8]
