News about my book, gender and computing
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: https://www.timeshighereducation.com/books/review-programmed-inequality-mari... (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 ______________________ Marie Hicks, Ph.D. Asst.
