Research on the inter-relations between gender and information & communication technologies (ICTs) is dynamic, multidisciplinary, engaging and creative.
The symposium 'Gender and ICT: Where are we at' was held in Amsterdam in January 2003. With the second installment of this symposium we aim to pursue the discussions begun in Amsterdam.
In the morning session, keynote lectures will be given by Wendy Faulkner (Edinburgh University, Scotland), Merete Lie (Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Norway) and Eileen Green (University of Teesside, England).
During the afternoon, eight parallel sessions will take place on the following topics:
- Strategies of inclusion for women through the development of products geared to female audiences
- Myths about men, women and ICT
- Women’s career paths in the ICT sector
- E-learning in a gendered world
- Designing gender or gendering design ?
- Inclusion policies for education, social inclusion and ICT
- Using ICT in everyday life
- Flexibility and control in new work arrangements related to ICT
- Teaching with/in ICT
- ICT as a tool for the empowerment of women
This symposium aims to be a meeting point for researchers from different disciplines and research schools that are familiar with ICT and gender studies, women's studies or feminist studies.
The Gender & ICT symposium is a joint initiative of the Policy Research Centre on Equal Opportunities (Belgium), the European SIGIS (Strategies of Inclusion: Gender and the Information Society) Network, The Dutch Association for Gender & Technology (the Netherlands) and Digitales (Belgium)
