Girl Power: Reconfiguring the Gendered Space of IT -- 5. Girls Don’t Walk Alone: Supporters’ Investment in Welcoming Girls and Women into Fields of IT -- 6. Gender Patterns, Equality Paradoxes, and Lessons for an Inclusive Digital Future.This open access book explores what makes women decide to pursue a career in male-dominated fields such as information technology (IT). It reveals how women experience gendered stereotypes but also how they bypass, negotiate, and challenge such stereotypes, reconstructing gender-technology relations in the process. Using the example of Norway to illuminate this challenge in Western countries, the book includes a discussion of the “gender equality paradox”, where gender equality exists in parallel with gender segregation in fields such as IT. The discussion illustrates how the norm of gender equality in some cases hinders rather than promotes efforts to increase women’s participation in technology-related roles.ScienceSocial aspectsSexIndustrial sociologyTechnologySociological aspectsInformation technologyScience and Technology StudiesGender StudiesSociology of WorkInformation and Communication Technologies (ICT)Science, Technology and SocietyScienceSocial aspects.Sex.Industrial sociology.TechnologySociological aspects.Information technology.Science and Technology Studies.Gender Studies.Sociology of Work.Information and Communication Technologies (ICT).Science, Technology and Society.004.082SOC026000SOC032000bisacshCorneliussen Hilde G1179259MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910745584603321Reconstructions of gender and information technology3573019UNINA
