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.

Judy Wajcman

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.

Materialist vs Material Feminisms

Currently no disambiguation between the two terms on Wikipedia; both used interchangeably to refer to Marxist feminist analyses. Lagging behind theory (e.g. Alaimo and Hekman 2008, Coole 2010, Bennett 2010 etc.). Rylee001 (talk) 20:51, 9 September 2015 (UTC)rylee001[reply]

ENIAC

Add reference Janet Abbate's book Recoding Gender: Women's Changing Participation in Computing both to reference list/citations and to expand on section on programming, female programmers, and perhaps elsewhere throughout. https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/recoding-gender

gender-based violence

Gender-based violence re-routes to a section of the Domestic Violence page, specifically the 'Violence against Women' section. Gender-based violence warrants a separate page and consideration for the larger scope of gender-based violence encompassing the range of violence and different forms of violence inflicted on individuals and communities across a gender-identity spectrum.

Écriture féminine

As noted on the talk page (last updated, 2011) this is lackluster and underdeveloped.
Needs sections - summary of main ideas in this theory and the major contributors (some are hyperlinked in the beginning)
Possible sections: History of this theory - how it developed in critique to psychoanalysis and for instance, Jacques Lacan, the intellectual training of the theorists (analysts); How the theory has been taken up to theorize psychic development in culture and subjectivity, the abject Julia Kristeva; how ecriture féminine has been taken up by other disciplines and examples of this (anthropology, literature, cultural geography), major conferences and areas of study, major works in this, critiques and criticisms from different
I couldn't help it, I had to make an edit of "literally" into "translates" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89criture_f%C3%A9minine) Shameran81 (talk) 21:08, 9 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Critical Media Literacy

Here's a list of some pages that might be of interest to my Critical Media Literacy class since these topics are covered in the course. Each page in this list is incomplete and/or needs a feminist perspective on the topic: DrBudoka (talk) 21:15, 9 September 2015 (UTC) Information and Media Literacy; Media Literacy (needs "critical media literacy" section); Media and Gender; Gender and Videogames; Walter Chapin Simpson Center for the Humanities (Public scholarship section); Circuit of culture; Killing Us Softly Film Series; Feminist Activism in Hip-Hop; Black Twitter; Hashtag Activism; Hacktivism; Geek Girl;[reply]

Domestic Violence > gender aspects section

This section includes some important discussion about violence against men, under-reporting by men and women, and the difficulties of collecting accurate data on domestic violence, gender-based violence, family violence, intimate partner violence, etc. It lacks a complex discussion on gender, and fails to provide a balanced discussion about gender (addressing the stats and realities for women in North America and worldwide, addressing violence against transgender people and against people who are gender non-conforming). Really the section lacks a nuanced discussion about gender, making it imbalanced.

Fan Culture and Participatory Culture

As noted on Talk page for Fandom, there is no separate entry or even subsection about Fan Cultures. Beyond a description of the phenomenon itself, there are gendered components to the various online or offline communities and manifestations of fan cultures, which can get pointed when studying participatory fan cultures especially.

The Participatory Culture article does not explicitly discuss gendered experiences. May need another section on uses of participatory culture in relation to deliberately homoerotic re-readings of popular media. See e.g. Russ 1984, Jones 2002, Hellekson 2009 etc. Rylee001 (talk) 21:27, 9 September 2015 (UTC)Rylee001[reply]

Chicana Feminism

Needs citations Overview needs work List of scholars needs updatingXicanaxingona (talk) 21:27, 9 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Alison Adam's work on AI

http://www.yorku.ca/mlc/sosc3990A/projects/Adam/Adam3.html - brief summary of her contributions http://www.yorku.ca/mlc/sosc3990A/projects/Adam/Adam2.html - brief bio and list of her two books

She has two studies of two “objective” AI “knowledge” systems which she argues are particular, located, and historically-specific definitions of humanness are inscribed into the design of two pioneering artificial intelligence systems, Cyc and SOAR -- themselves underdeveloped and could use her critique in sections.Shameran81 (talk) 21:29, 9 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz

Her work as a scientist is missing Xicanaxingona (talk) 21:30, 9 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Chicanafuturism

Chicanafuturism does not have it's own page. Catherine Ramirez has the following articles on Chicanafuturism Ramírez, Catherine. 2004. “Deus Ex Machina: Tradition, Technology, and the Chicanafuturist Art of Marion C. Martinez.” Aztlan: A Journal of Chicano Studies 29 (2): 55–92. Ramírez, Catherine. 2008. “Afrofuturism/Chicanafuturism: Fictive Kin.” Aztlan: A Journal of Chicano Studies 33 (1): 185–94.
