HOST: Welcome to our podcast! Today, I'm thrilled to be joined by Dr. Sofia Ramirez, an expert in digital media and the instructor for the Professional Certificate in Feminist Digital Media. Dr. Ramirez, can you tell us a bit about what inspired you to create this course? GUEST: Absolutely!

I wanted to create a space where learners could explore these important issues while developing essential digital media skills. HOST: That's fantastic. And how does this feminist approach differentiate the course from other digital media programs? GUEST: Our course highlights the social implications of digital media, encouraging students to think critically about gender, technology, and online activism. This unique perspective sets our learners apart in their careers. HOST: That's so important. Now, let's discuss some industry trends. What are some current challenges or opportunities in feminist digital media? GUEST: There's a growing demand for professionals who understand ethical considerations in digital media and can create inclusive content. However, addressing online harassment and promoting diversity remain significant challenges. HOST: I can imagine. In your experience, what have been some of the obstacles learners face when studying this subject? GUEST: Many students struggle with understanding the intersectionality of feminism and technology. But once they grasp these concepts, they often find it empowering and eye-opening. HOST: That's great to hear. Lastly, where do you see the future of feminist digital media heading? GUEST: I believe we'll continue to see a rise in ethical and inclusive digital media practices. Our goal is to equip learners with the skills and knowledge they need to lead these efforts and drive positive change in the industry.
