EnGendering Design: Implementing Interdisciplinarity
نویسندگان
چکیده
In addition to the ongoing dearth of women and other minorities in STEM fields, there are increasing reports of sexism in Silicon Valley at all levels. Such gendered biases get written into the technologies designers and developers create. We discuss the value developing interdisciplinary connections and gaining indepth and nuanced understandings of gender theories could have for creating technologies, both to help develop more inclusive and gender-aware technologies and to help make design and tech cultures and practices more gender aware and gender sensitive. In particular, we look at performative and intersectional theories of gender, as well as reflexive and situated methodologies.

Using all the articles published in Web of Science in 2000, we define the degree of interdisciplinarity of a given article as the percentage of its cited references made to journals of other disciplines. We show that although for all disciplines combined there is no clear correlation between...
