feminist technoscience

More genealogy of the intersections of feminist technoscience with feminist science studies, and technoscience studies in the science studies tradition. References: Bits of Life.

gender and technology

There's no Wikipedia page on gender and technology. Has this been considered "too broad" for an encyclopedia entry? What would such a page cover? What other pages would be nested inside? Who are some of the key theorists/contributors and themes in the field of "gender and technology"? There are certainly many books, courses, syllabi on the topic... (This gap was pointed out by ND).

technofeminism

Relates to feminist technoscience but could constitute its own post.

  • Needs elaboration on her theoretical contributions.
  • Yes! This is basically a list of her books. There is no narrative about her work or where she fits into the larger story of feminist Marxist sociologists who think about technologies as integral to "capitol" (fixed capitol) and "patriarchy" the reproduction of the masculine
  • Her book was also written decades ago -- a story about how her thinking has changed and adapted over time. Link to the FemTechNet interview with Wajcman by Anne Balsamo to reference these updates and the neoliberal/post-fordist structure of the global economy.

Women in STEM fields

Page exists, needs additional edits as under discussion in talk page; also needs more explicit discussion on and definitions of gender (vs sex) and overarching social structures like patriarchy. Also, arguably, should be noted as US/Canada/Britain focused, unless content is actually expanded, which would make for very different page content.

Chicana and Chicano

- Underdeveloped article - Talk page // "C class article" - Redirect of Chicana to Chicano not discussed

women of color

Search for 'women of color' or 'woman of color' points to a page on Person of Color. While this page seems to offer a reasonable overview of the use of the term 'person of color' it fails to capture the unique experience of women of color at the intersection of racial, gender and often economic structural disadvantage.
