Race Gender and Info Tech
Section Info:
AFRO 398 Race, Gender and Information Technology 3 hours Instructor Safiya Noble Open to sophomores, juniors and seniors. This section meets with LIS 390, INFO 390 and LLS 396. This course examines how gender and race affect, and are affected by, information technologies. Race and gender representations will be studied in different settings as they intersect with information use and technology practices. The course is framed by two broad, interrelated concepts -- the expression of identity (individual and group) in cyberspace and the "digital divide." The course readings are drawn from several disciplines and an eclectic array of in-class and out-of-class projects and exercises will be assigned.
