"Digital technology plays a central and increasingly complex role in our culture. Its issues require careful study, including assumptions about its ubiquity, neutrality, and stability. This course will address the following questions: How are gender identities constituted and changed by technologically-mediated environments and technological artifacts themselves? How does technology change, and how can you create change with technology? We will consider how intersectional feminism has informed technological practices and artifacts produced in our historical moment and the past to develop our understanding of the reciprocal relationships among technology and social categories as gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, and class. Our topics will include the digital divide, biotechnology, reproductive technology, surveillance, social media, home technology, and entertainment technology. Throughout the term, we will analyze writing about technology, critique digital sites and tools, and gain hands-on experience with digital creation. This is an interdisciplinary course with a foundation in the humanities. No previous coursework on or expertise in technology is required."
