Hi all,

I wanted to mention that my book, Programmed Inequality, was the Times Higher Education Supplement's book of the week pick this week. It was actually reviewed--very sympathetically--by a computer scientist. I found his perspective really interesting, especially when he talks about his dilemma re: "booth babes" at trade shows. (I think it shows the difficulties many of us face when trying to address institutionalized discrimination.)

If you're interested, the link is:

(it may ask you to register--for free--in order to read it.)

At the very bottom--near the end of the interview portion, there is also a section of shout outs to some other scholars whose work I admire (including a few SIGCISers). Space prevented me from listing all of the many folks I would have liked to!

Best,

Marie
