Her Table: Bridging the Civic Digital Divide with Dr. Caitlin Walker West
Her Table is a shared meal that provides an opportunity for women to connect over good food and meaningful conversation. Dinner, babysitting, and all materials will be provided. Friends are always welcome!
Workshop Topic: Bridging the Civic Digital Divide for Women
Digital skills aren’t just about workforce skills; they’re civic power. Women face layered barriers to civic participation, many of which are amplified by technology.
This timely workshop breaks down how digital literacy, access, and confidence directly impact women’s civic voices, especially in today’s political climate. With early voting for the March primaries kicking off right now, this conversation couldn’t be more important.
Through real-world examples and interactive discussion, we’ll explore how closing the digital divide helps women stay informed, guard themselves from misinformation, and step into leadership in their communities both online and off.
