Scaffold up! Advancing Women in the Emerging Media Creative Economy

Structural barriers facing women are embedded in innovation culture, determining who can claim authorship, assume leadership, and take creative risks with emerging technology, thereby limiting participation in the $1.2 trillion creative economy. The Narrative & Emerging Media program's initiative expands ASU's Creative Economy Hub by further advancing women's role in emerging technology, shifting studio and pedagogical models, and supporting fellows who will carry these new narrative-centered practices into industry, cultural institutions, and public-interest technology spaces.
