TechnAct Talks
Welcome to TechnAct Talks! We are three PhD candidates, Onur Kilic from Lund University; Nadia Ruiz-Bravo and Sama Khosravi Ooryad from the University of Gothenburg, having conversations about the interactions between technology and society. We touch upon subjects related to gender, sexualities, feminism, transnationality, social movements, and more! Often times we have guests with various academic and activism backgrounds, but other times we are just us talking. Join us in our conversations!
