ITS 4320 - Gender and Information Technology
Examines the impact of information technology on work and domestic life, specifically focusing on the issue of gender. Men and women have interacted with information technologies in strikingly different ways. For example, computing has developed as a male dominated field, while the telephone has been strongly associated with women. Analyzes the social forces underlying this gender difference, focusing on feminist theories and theories of masculinity. The development of information technologies (telegraphy, telephone, computer, and Internet) will also be discussed.
