Making gender visible: Extending feminist critiques of technology to technical communication

Laura J. Gurak Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute ; Nancy L. Bayer Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

Abstract

Technical communicators are becoming increasingly involved in product development, often playing important roles on design teams. This shift brings with it the possibility for technical communicators to play more critical roles in balancing gender biases in technology. Feminist critiques of technology offer a range of perspectives for both educators and practitioners. Because discussion of feminism and technology in relation to technical communication is relatively new, the possibilities for applications of these theories are broad.
