WGS 2330 Gendered Technologies

This course investigates the relevance of gender, race, class and sexuality to technology and the ways in which technology itself is implicated in the production of these same identity categories. Technologies will be examined as cultural forces and cultural artifacts. We will consider the contemporary and historical uses of technology, the development of new technologies, and the cultural representation of technology. We will consider a wide range of issues, including: the role women played in the development of technology, possible affects technological changes impose on gender roles, and new technologies that afford different social relations.
