In this 2 hour workshop, Dr. Alex Ketchum of McGill's Institute for Gender, Sexuality, and Feminist Studies will work with participants to begin building their own websites to make
their research results accessible to the public. Participants will gain the tools to buy a domain name, create multiple pages, do simple HTML coding, and more. The workshop will also cover social media engagement for academics.

The workshop will be available for up to 50 graduate students and professors. No prior coding skills will be required. Please bring your laptop or tablet.

Dr. Alex Ketchum is the Faculty Lecturer of the Institute for Gender, Sexuality, and Feminist Studies at McGill
University and the organizer of the Feminist and Accessible Publishing and Communications Technologies Speaker and Workshop Series. In addition to her research on feminist consumption and communications, she is co-founder and
editor of The Historical Cooking Project (historicalcookingproject.com), a website dedicated to food history scholarship and Food, Feminism, and Fermentation (foodfeminismfermentation.com). She presently manages 6
websites that make academic research accessible to the public for free. For a full list of her publications, go to
