Technology today is deeply integrated into most aspects of our lives. The course explores the multiple ways in which technology and gender shape each other. Topics will include: feminist technology studies, digital divide, internet, web, and digital technologies, social media, home technologies, biotechnology, reproductive technologies, surveillance, technology and the security "state," and digital entertainment technologies.
This course is a blended course - meeting half the time in a classroom setting and the rest in an online setting.
