Frontiers:
A Journal of Women Studies
Call for Papers
Special Gender & IT Issue
The dialogue between gender and information technology (IT) has the potential to be a burgeoning, dynamic, multidisciplinary field of study. Instead, it is often explored as a series of disconnected topical areas.We are soliciting scholarly and creative submissions for a special issue of Frontiers: A Journal of Women Studies that will successfully interconnect often disparate topics in gender and information technology. These topics may include:
-
Gender and under-represented groups in the IT workforce and its educational pipelines;
-
Gendered experiences with information technologies;
-
Representations of gender in and by information technologies; and
-
Feminist and other cultural critiques and/or expressions of the societal implications of IT.
This special issue presents an opportunity
to better understand the gender and IT content areas and perspectives
as complementary pieces of a complex puzzle. We intend this special
issue to provide a platform from which to encourage exchange and collaboration
across disciplines and communities such as anthropology, history, cultural
and literary studies, education, visual and digital arts, creative writing,
social and political activism, the sciences, and industry, among others.
We anticipate extensive and cooperative participation by university,
community, and industry researchers and artists, as well as a commitment
to interdisciplinary approaches and multicultural perspectives.We
ask that articles and other text submissions be limited to a maximum
of 30 pages including notes and bibliography (double-spaced, 1 inch
margins, 12 point font). Please submit visual materials in slide, photographic,
or digital format. Materials should be submitted as attachments via
email (deblkf@colorado.edu),
or as hard copies in triplicate to the address below. The deadline for
all submissions is December 1, 2003. Questions can be directed to guest
editors Deborah Haynes (Deborah.Haynes@colorado.edu),
Deborah Keyek-Franssen (deblkf@colorado.edu),
or Nina Molinaro (Nina.Molinaro@colorado.edu).
