Subject: Re: feminist theory/gender/technology


There's a lot off stuff out there on gender and technology. Just a few 
sources of interest include:

Greenbaum, Joan M. IN THE NAME OF EFFICIENCY, Temple University Press, 1979

Valentine, Lynn "Gender, technology, and democracy at work" in Beirne, 
Martin and Ramsey, Harvie ed. INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND WORKPLACE 
DEMOCRACY, Routledge, 1992, pp. 193-211

Gerver, Elisabeth "Computers and Gender" in Forester, Tom ed. COMPUTERS 
IN THE HUMAN CONTEXT, The MIT Press, 1989, pp. 481-501.

I occasionally teach a course at Pratt Institute on "Technology and the 
Future of Work" and would appreciate hearing about any sources that list 
members would recommend.
