FemTech Utopias

11 November 2022, 19:30-21:00

In this interactive workshop, participants will combine design thinking with speculative fiction to consider the growing world of ‘FemTech’. Join University of Edinburgh medical anthropologist Andrea Ford, whose research on menstrual health and culture will shape the event.

Through facilitated brainstorming and scene-setting, participants will produce multimedia storyboards that forecast futures. They will gain a keen sense of how technologies can be simultaneously good and bad, while learning about the growing interest in menstrual health and its potential implications. People who menstruate, those interested in or skeptical about the digitisation of health, fans of speculative fiction, and those interested in design as a form of storytelling will be especially suited for this event!
