[SIGCIS-Members] Call for papers: special issue on “Gender and Internet/Web History.”

[Janet Abbate]

Call for papers: “Gender and Internet/Web History.”  This is a special issue of the journal Internet Histories: Digital Technology, Culture and Society, edited by Leopoldina Fortunati, Autumn Edwards & Janet Abbate. 

This special issue will take stock of the historical entanglement of gender and the Internet/Web. Facing a critical juncture both in terms of the technological development of the Internet (e.g., the nascent Web 3.0, radical decentralization, the integration of AI and machine learning) and also in terms of sociopolitical struggle on the part of women and gender-linked identity groups on local and global levels, we ask: How can we root the analysis of gender and the Internet on a historical level? How can histories that integrate gender and the Internet/Web help us comprehend the sociological, cultural, and political meaning and dimensions of each?

Deadline for the submission of proposals is February 28th, 2023. Full papers will be due March 1st, 2024. Complete CFP details are attached.

Submit proposals to each of the editors:
	• leopoldina.fortunati at uniud.it
	• autumn.edwards at wmich.edu
	• abbate at vt.edu
Please mention “CFP Gender and Internet/Web History” in the subject line.

This is a great opportunity for junior scholars or people exploring a new research area, as you will have nearly a year to write your article once your proposal has been accepted. We hope to hear from many of you!
