Gender and Technology

By Anita Patel, Junior Web Developer, Berkman Center for Internet & Society

The March 18th Mini-Conference had great discussions and led to a lot of varying thoughts and ideas. The speakers varied in areas of expertise:

• Duncan Kennedy — considered a historical feminist framework
• Eszter Hargittai — examined gender difference in perception of technology skills
• Nancy Hafkin — questioned the international world: broadband access; SES issues; international branch developing countries
• Judith Donath — looked at trust and identity. construction of gender… through the internet..how flexible are the constructions?
• Dena Sacco and Diane Rosenfeld — dicussed legal issues in pornography, rape, crime on the Internet
• Margo Seltzer & Elizabeth Stark –searched for models and experiences of visionary -gendered leadership

The thoughts gathered from these discussions were so diverse that the best way to represent them is through a mind map. So I made one. To view the Gender and Technology Mini-Conference Mind Map, click here
