Elizabeth, I could post a call for proposals on the FemTechNet Facebook page if you’d like. People in femtechnet.org would be potential presenters or commenters, I think. Let me know if you’d like me to do that, and a deadline. 

Thanks, 

Sharon Irish

Subject: [SIGCIS-Members] SHOT panel on gender and software/programming

Hello SIGCIS,

I'm looking to put together a session for this year's SHOT on Gender and Software/Programming. I'm taking a wide view of the topic and would love a panel that considers very diverse aspects of both gender and software. To give you an idea of where I'd like to go with this, I potentially have two papers so far:

1. I'm going to discuss Adele Goldberg's role at PARC and her work on the intersection of education and programming languages with Smalltalk.

2. I have a proposal from a colleague on the role of gender in the Leisure Suit Larry video game series.

If anyone is interested in giving a paper as part of the panel or, alternatively, might like to be commentator, please let me know.

Best,

Liz
