Reading Group #2: Laura Bates's "The New Age of Sexism: How AI and Emerging Technologies Are Reinventing Misogyny”

Friday, February 27, 2026 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm EST (GMT -05:00)

Join us for the second session of SIGNAL’s Reading Group, a space for conversation about technology, culture, activism, and power.

On February 27, we will discuss The New Age of Sexism: How AI and Emerging Technologies Are Reinventing Misogyny by Laura Bates. In this book, Bates explores how artificial intelligence and digital platforms are reshaping gender inequality in new and often hidden ways. Together, we will examine the social impact of emerging technologies and reflect on how we can respond critically and constructively.

Whether you have read the full book or are simply curious about the topic, all are welcome to participate.
