Mindy Seu MDes ’19, “Cyberfeminism Index”

On April 12 at 6:30 p.m. in the Loeb Library, Harvard GSD M.Des hosted a book launch for designer and technologist Mindy Seu’s Cyberfeminism Index. The event featured a performative, Augmented Reality-based lecture by Seu.

Edited by designer, professor, and researcher Mindy Seu MDes ’19, Cyberfeminism Index includes more than 700 short entries of global, radical techno-critical activism from the past three decades. Both a vital introduction for laypeople and a robust resource guide for educators, Cyberfeminism Index—an anti-canon, of sorts—celebrates the multiplicity of practices that fall under this imperfect categorization and makes visible cyberfeminism’s long-ignored origins and its expansive legacy.

Seu’s Cyberfeminism Index was started at Harvard GSD with support from the Berkman Klein Center for the Internet & Society, and it was a recipient of the 2019 Design Studies Thesis Prize.
