Gender and Technology

Gender and technology examines how societal roles and expectations around gender influence the development, use, and perception of technology. It explores issues such as the gender gap in tech careers, representation in tech design, and the impact of technology on gender roles. For instance, biases in algorithms can perpetuate stereotypes, while access to technology can empower or disadvantage different genders. Understanding this relationship helps identify inequalities and promotes more inclusive practices in technology, ensuring that innovations benefit everyone, regardless of gender.
