Gender and Information and Communications Technologies — It’s not for Girls!

Abstract

This book is about the intersection of two areas; first, gender and information and communications technologies (ICTs) and second, computer ethics. It is born from my long-standing interest in gender and computer technologies, a more recent research and teaching interest in the discipline which is often known as ‘computer ethics’ and my concern that research on computer ethics problems should be brought to a wider audience beyond the academy and information technology (IT) profession, as so many of the issues involved have a substantial bearing on aspects of our everyday lives, lived with ICTs.
