Hi all, I had the opportunity to design and offer a new class this year on women in the history of computing. I wanted to share the syllabus with you: http://www.mariehicks.net/syllabi.html The course looks at how gender, race, and sexuality restructure the narratives of computing history and it also asks students to engage with historiographical issues surrounding how computing history has been written at different points (biography, company histories, hardware, software, labor, etc.). My students have been very into it so far, and some of their work is online: http://digitalhistorylab.com/?p=205 (Scroll down to the comments section to see a small selection of the student essays submitted for this paper assignment.) Best, Marie ______________________ Marie Hicks, Ph.D. Asst.
