Launched in 2012, the network has developed and experimented with collaborative processes to address the educational needs of students interested in feminist science-technology studies. One of the current FemTechNet projects is the creation of an alternative to MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) called a DOCC: Distributed Open Collaborative Course, to be offered in September-December 2013. The DOCC2013 topic is: Feminist Dialogues on Technology.” DOCC2013 is being taught at over a dozen schools including Brown and Yale, Goldsmith’s London University and Ontario College of Art & Design, University of Illinois/Urbana-Champaign, Ohio State, Pennsylvania State, Rutgers, Pitzer College, Colby-Sawyer College, CUNY, California State, California Polytech, Bowling Green University and The New School.

An exhibition of work by LGBTQ artists who have exhibited at the Esperanza Center during its historic roster of social justice art shows dating back to 1988 including a series of lesbian and gay exhibits celebrating Gay Pride in the late 80s and into the 90s. These highly visible, pro-active events exhibited at the original Center at 1305 N. Flores Street eventually led to the eviction of the Esperanza in 1993, the day after the 5th Annual Lesbian & Gay Art Show, “Closets: Queer Experiences,” opened to considerable content-based controversy. A few years later the controversy culminated in the defunding of the Esperanza’s cultural arts programming by the San Antonio City Council in 1997. In 2001, funding for Esperanza’s cultural arts programming was restored after The Esperanza Center won an historic lawsuit against the City of San Antonio. 2007 Qué Queer San Antonio!
