[game_edu] Implications of students going into a male-dominatedindustry?

[Nick Lalone]

Ian points out a lot of consequences and self-fulfilling prophecies
that keep this male-dominated cycle in the STEM fields going. There is
a lot of research on this subject that you all may find interesting.

I am more than happy to mail .pdfs to anyone who would like them.

 A short bibliography that may interest those of you who are part of
this discussion would include:

Genderizing HCI from Justine Cassell: http://lalone.us/r4gDQR (.pdf)

Once she makes it, she's there!: a case study from Judith Gal-Ezera,
Tamar Vilnera & Ela Zura:
http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/08993400701819504

Feminist theories of technology from Judy Wajcman:
http://cje.oxfordjournals.org/content/34/1/143.short

FROM WOMEN AND TECHNOLOGY TO GENDERED TECHNOSCIENCE from Judy Wajcman
as well: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/13691180701409770

You can also bring in a lot of discussions of STEM-based employment gaps like:

The Gender Wage Gap - Institute for Women's Policy Research -

The Wajcman pieces are really great at showing how feminism shifted
over the course of time with regard to technology and STEM.

Hope those help!
