Gender and Technology at Work

'This expansive volume conveys how decades of feminist scholarship on women, work, and technology can inform artifact and system design in ways that promote social justice. It is enriched by the collaboration of a multidisciplinary, multinational team of authors who weave their own stories and those of other feminist technologists into the narrative.' Carol J. Haddad, Professor Emerita of Technology Studies, Eastern Michigan University
'A captivating deep dive into the intersection of gender, technology, and workplace culture. The authors masterfully integrate extensive research, providing essential guidance for designing user-centric IT systems and promoting inclusive workplaces. A pivotal guide for creating a more equitable tech world.' Nicola Marsden, Professor of Social Informatics, Heilbronn University, Author of Retaining Women in Tech: Shifting the Paradigm
'This book provides a very welcome and sensitive appraisal of the gender-technology relationship in an ever faster-paced era of change in both domains. It is conceptually comprehensive and politically engaged, restoring authority and agency to those conventionally overlooked and marginalised in technological design processes. A must-read for all those interested in the challenges of achieving social justice in technology design.' Juliet Webster, Work and Equality Research, London
'Balka, Wagner, Weibert & Wulf's expertise and established commitment to participatory design (PD) and computer-supported cooperative work (CSCW) provides a rich history of feminist scholarship in gender and technology studies that has shaped this field. Interspersed with interviews from eleven feminist pioneers in PD, CSCW, HCI and STS, they offer provocations, ethical-political perspectives and inspiration for burgeoning intersectional and interdisciplinary research and practice in gender, work and system design, data feminism, critical data studies, and data justice and design justice.' Leslie Regan Shade, Faculty of Information, University of Toronto
