Abstract:
"This edited collection examines gender, sex, and technology through an interdisciplinary and intersectional lens. The text highlights our relationships to technology and illustrates how gendered relations are shaped and transformed through social and technological innovations. Contributors bring to the fore feminist, decolonizing, and anti-racist methods to examine our everyday uses of technology, from smart phones, to baby bottles, to computers, to TikTok. Chapters are organized in five thematic sections: technology's ability to disrupt, technology as a facilitator of connections, surveillance society, the intersection of technology and the body, and the potential of technology as a site of resistance. Original research and scholarship are grounded in real-world scenarios like revenge pornography, gender bias in Artificial Intelligence, menstrual tracking, online dating, and the COVID-19 pandemic, inviting students to take a closer look at technological transformations and their impact on gendered lived experience and to consider how the benefits of technology are inequitably shared within society. This volume centres Canadian scholars and Canadian perspectives without losing sight of the broader global connection and is filled with of-the-moment content."--
