Roundtable Participants
This is the first of a series of Drylongso Roundtable Discussions organized in an effort to critically examine current issues and events. Transcripts from our distinguished panelists appear below. Just who are our panelists? What are their life experiences? Take a look.
Gender Issues Topic 1: Expectations
How would you define or explain the disjoint of what black men and women expect with regard to interactions on the Internet and what actually transpires? How is this disjoint understood in an historical view? What have you noticed about how black men and women interacted and where the situations exceeded or fell short of yours and their expectations? How did such expectations manifest and how did you address them when they arose?
Gender Issues Topic 2: Realities
What is the reality of gender issues between black men and women in online communities? In that anyone can either hide or create themselves online in a fashion that could be totally different than their real-world gender, how does this effect what we perceive to be male/female relationships online? How do you tell what is “real” and “unreal”?
Gender Issues Topic 3: Remedies
What do you see as the central problems in online male/female relationships? Is there something inherent in electronic transmissions that positively or negatively effect the development of online gender relationships? How can we foster greater tolerance for varied genders? How can we remove some of the socialized structure around gender relationships in a media where many other structures are removed?
