WGS 230 - Gendered Technoculture: Feminism,

Institution:

The College of New Jersey

Subject:

Description:

Gender, and Technology What is the relationship between gender and technology? How is technology informed by gender? How is something as difficult to define as technology categorized as male and/or female in our minds? How do our perceptions of technology change by the user of said technology? Why do we imbue inanimate objects with gendered characteristics? How do new technologies alter or influence our ideas about gender and about what is gender appropriate? These are some of the questions we will explore in this course. Using feminist theories and methodologies, we will investigate the ways in which our technological world is gendered, and how to apply this theory to analyze and critique our high-tech world.
