Digital Curation as Collaborative Archival Method in Feminist Rhetorics

Abstract: Our essay advocates for digital curation as a collaborative archival method for feminist research and pedagogy. Based on our work together in a graduate seminar, we describe a repurposing of the Pinterest platform to feminist curatorial ends. Specifically, our class used Pinterest to collaboratively curate existing archives, construct new “lower-case-a archives,” and build community as history was made in the present. We argue that such digital curation is fruitful for scholars interested in bringing together our field’s established strengths in feminist historiography with emergent digital communication technologies.
