GIST 2011 - Our Second Set of Web "Events"

GIST Course

This is the second set of web projects to emerge from "GIST": a course about Gender, Information, Science and Technology offered at Bryn Mawr College in Spring 2011. Two months into the semester, students are theorizing about the lives and work circumstances of individuals who shaped, or were impacted by, interesting intra-actions of gender, information, science, and/or technology.

Take a look around, and feel warmly welcome to respond in the comment area available at the end of each paper. What strikes, intrigues, puzzles you...what, among your reactions, might be of interest or use to the writer, or others in the class, or others who--exploring the internet--might be in search of a thoughtful conversation exploring various dimensions gender, information, science and technology?
