Women, Gender & Technology Book Series

GEORGIA TECH ANNOUNCES CALL FOR PROPOSALS FOR NEW WOMEN, GENDER & TECHNOLOGY BOOK SERIES

Three notable gender and technology scholars in Ivan Allen College, the liberal arts college of Georgia Tech, will edit a new book series entitled, "Women, Gender & Technology" to be published by University of Illinois Press. The editors, Dr. Sue V. Rosser, Dr. Mary Frank Fox, and Dr. Deborah Johnson, invite proposals for volumes for the book series.

The Women, Gender & Technology Series brings together women's studies and technology studies, focusing upon women and technology, feminist perspectives on technology, and the gendering of technology and its impact upon gender relations in society.

Volumes may be written from multiple perspectives and approaches, reflecting and aimed toward audiences including women's studies, science and technology studies, studies of occupations and organizations, ethics and technology, cultural studies of science and technology, history of technology, and public policy.

Topics focus on:

§ Cultures and societies: comparative approaches in the study of gender, science, and technology; representations of gender and technology; politics and the state as they reflect and reinforce patterns of gender, science, and technology.

§ Institutions: gender in technological training; structures of education and outcomes; work and organizational contexts among women in technology; programs and interventions to support gender equity.

§ Individuals: social psychology of gender, science, and technology; interactions, expectations, identities, and networks as they are embedded in institutions (e.g., education and work) and outcomes of science and technology; effects of technology on human development and life-span development between generations.
