Description
Gender and Technology at Work investigates the complex relationship between gender, technology adoption, and workplace practices through the lens of workplace studies and design research. The book brings together perspectives from leading scholars to analyze how technological systems are designed, implemented, and used in ways that either reinforce or challenge existing gender inequalities.
Rather than treating technology as neutral, this work demonstrates how design decisions embed social values and can either perpetuate discrimination or advance social justice. The authors examine real-world workplace case studies to illustrate how gender dynamics influence technology adoption, workplace interactions, and career trajectories. The book advocates for a more thoughtful, inclusive approach to technology design that considers diverse user needs and promotes equity.
Essential reading for researchers, designers, and practitioners interested in creating workplaces where technology serves all workers fairly and supports broader social justice goals.
