Summary:
Tara McPherson asks what might it mean to design--from conception--digital tools and applications that emerge from contextual concerns of cultural theory and from a feminist concern for difference. This question leads to the Vectors lab, which for a dozen years has experimented with digital scholarship at the intersection of theory and praxis.-- Provided by publisher.
