A special issue of FEMINIST COLLECTIONS: A QUARTERLY OF
WOMEN'S STUDIES RESOURCES devoted to "information technology and
women's studies: reports from the field" has just been mailed to
subscribers. We are pretty excited about the issue because it
brought together perspectives of professors, librarians, and
cyber-activists from all over the world (or at least from Wisconsin
to New Zealand to Eastern Europe).
Here's a partial table of contents:
"Where Did the Feminist Teacher Go? Reconsidering Authority in the
Multimedia Classroom," by Allison Fraiberg
"Interactive Video and Female Learning: Implications for a Feminized
Profession," by Debra Gold Hansen and Sheri D. Irvin [about a distance
ed. library school course at San Jose State]
"Using Computer Conferencing to Break Down Racial and Gender Barriers
in the College Classroom," by Mary Kay Schleiter.
"Internet Resources and Women's Studies: Expanding the Horizons of a Rural
Campus," by Ann Donihue Travers
"The Use of E-mail Discussion in Fostering a Learning Community in an
Undergraduate Psychology of Women Course," by Tracy Luchetta
"Electronic Witches: Women Using E-mail in the Former Yugoslavia," by Kathryn
Turnipseed
"Feminism and Linguistics: How Technology Can Prove Our Point," by
Fabienne Bader [an analysis of sexism in a 16th cent. Latin-French
dictionary applying text indexing and retrieval software to an electronic
text]
"Attitudes Toward Computers: The Changing Gender Gap," by J.M. Callan
"Women, the World Wide Web, and Issues of Privacy,' by Leslie Regan Shade
"The Women, Information Technology, and Scholarship (WITS) Colloquium
