- Description
- The authors deal with questions such as: How can information technology (IT) paradigms and design look like when its studied from a gender perspective? What does IT look like when its construction is informed by gender research? They argue how software design is gendered and how gendering effects are produced by its use. Studied are concepts and assumptions underlying research and development, design tools, IT products, teaching methods and materials.
