Call for abstracts: Gender and ICT


The Dutch Gender and Technology Association is pleased to announce a
symposium entitled, ‘Gender and ICT: Where are we at?’
It will be held in Amsterdam on 17 January 2003. We shall review the
international state-of-the-art and the Dutch situation. A number of
internationally renowned speakers have already agreed to open the day’s
discussion, including Wendy Faulkner, Knut Sørensen and Liesbet van Zoonen.


During the afternoon there will be parallel sessions. We invite abstracts
on the following themes:
- social relations of the Internet
- gender and the design of ICT
- the digital divide
Both theoretically and empirically focused presentations are welcome.


The deadline for abstracts (max. 400 words) is November 15. The final
programme will be available by December 15. The working language of the
symposium will be English.
Abstracts may be submitted to: Els Rommes e.w.m.rommes at wmw.utwente.nl or
