WS 3300 - Gender and Technology

Institution:

Appalachian State University

Subject:

Description:

This course is a social study of the mutual shaping of gender and technology. Beginning with the assumption that technologies are not gender neutral in their design or effects, the course examines both gender and technology as cultural and political categories. Students study how technologies help to form and distinguish the realm of the masculine and the feminine, as well as how ideas about gender help form our views of technology. Students will also examine the impact of new technologies, such as new information and communication technologies, on contemporary gender relations. (MULTI-CULTURAL; CROSS-DISCIPLINARY; COMPUTER)
