Beskrivning

In this timely collection, gender, sex, and technology are explored through an intersectional and interdisciplinary lens. Gender, Sex, and Tech! provides insight into the ways that technology affects, and is affected by, cultural perceptions of gender and sex. Through an examination of a range of past and present issues, the text highlights our relationships to technology and illustrates how gendered relations are shaped and transformed through social and technological innovations.Contributors bring to the fore feminist, decolonizing, and anti-racist methods to examine our everyday uses of technology, from the mundane to the surreal to the playful to the devastating. Original research and scholarship is skillfully grounded in real-world scenarios like revenge pornography, gender bias in artificial intelligence, menstrual tracking, online dating, and the COVID-19 pandemic, inviting students to take a closer look at technological transformations and their impact on gendered lived experience and to consider how the benefits of technology are inequitably shared within society.Centring Canadian scholars and Canadian perspectives without losing sight of the broader global connection, Gender, Sex, and Tech! is bursting with timely and of-the-moment content, making this collection a must-read for courses focused on gender and technology.

Recensioner i media

"Gender, Sex, and Tech! is a rich, fresh, and nuanced volume of essays considering unexpected relationships and interactions amongst different bodies, identities, and technologies, and it does this in accessible yet conceptually strong ways. The series of essays is engaging from the first page, and leads the reader through analyses of technologies we think we might know, but in formative uses of that tech that may not be well known or even recognizable to many audiences. The chapters are followed by considerate and genuinely thought-provoking questions for discussion, making this volume especially useful not only for classrooms but for students looking for technology studies with a little more bite."—Jennifer Dyer, Associate Professor and Head, Department of Gender Studies, Memorial University of Newfoundland"A unique resource to reflect on the ways in which gender and sex are key to our use and awareness of tech from dating apps to video gaming to surveillance. The editors provide comprehensive introductions to core feminist research approaches that bring readers to an understanding of intersectionality as a lens for social transformation."—Janice Dodd, Professor Emerita, Women's and Gender Studies, University of Manitoba
