<p>Dear All,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Caitlin, I look forward to seeing what you come up with!
Following up on Elinor, Chun's first book on "Control and Freedom"
also touches on the gendered language male and female ports, etc.
I think Avital Ronell touched on similar topics in a discussion of
switchboards and operators in the telephone system--an important
source for a lot of informatic metaphors and techniques. I saw it
in one of Ronell's essays leading up to her "Telephone Book," but
the exact citation slips my mind. Dr. Emily Goodmann
<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="mailto:emily.goodmann@gmail.com"><emily.goodmann@gmail.com></a> -- on this listserv? -- knows a
whole lot more about that literature, maybe she'll pipe in! <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Best,</p>
<p>b<br>

<div> </div>
</div>
<div>Dear all,
<div class="">Do you know of any studies of gendered language in
computing? I’m intrigued by the way today’s engineers throw
around words like “motherboard” and “daughterboard”, and also
“master” and “slave”, without being aware of how those words
sound to non-engineers (like me). I’d be interested in
learning about historical or sociological studies. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Thank you!</div>

<div class="">All the best,</div>
