WGST 410 - Feminism and Technology (3 credits)


(Prereq: WGST 103 ) This course examines how gender, race, and class intersect with technology, and how technology contributes to the social construction of identity. Consideration is given to the uses of technology, the development of new technologies, and cultural representations of technology. What role have underrepresented groups played in the development of technology? How has technological change affected the roles of women and ideas about gender? How does technology offer possibilities for new social relations and how should we evaluate these possibilities? What are the social implications of technology and how is it understood and deployed in different cultural contexts? F, S, Su.
