The book uses the concept of ‘disruptive technologies’, an area of study that assesses the potential of certain technologies to disrupt the status quo and the concept of socio-technical frameworks, where social considerations are factored in to engineering systems and models. Using case studies and methodologies drawn from interdisciplinary approaches to engineering, and from development studies, science and technology studies and feminist approaches, it assesses how the low-carbon energy transition potentially provides poor women in developing Asia the opportunity to get on board at the early phase of these changes and influence and even transform their societies and lives.TechnologySociological aspectsTotal energy systems (On-site electric power production)SociologyEconomic developmentScience and Technology Studieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22270Energy Systemshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/115000Gender Studieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X35000Development Studieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/913000TechnologySociological aspects.Total energy systems (On-site electric power production)Sociology.Economic development.Science and Technology Studies.Energy Systems.Gender Studies.Development Studies.303.483Mohideen Reihanaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1065169MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910370046103321Women and the Energy Revolution in Asia2543481UNINA
