Another fabulous post from the blog I mentioned previously. This blog post is in the form of a paper written by Kalyn Schofield, and discusses how technology remains to be a male-dominated field from which the majority of women are excluded. Society circulates jokes and assumptions about women being incompetent, technological dupes - thus perpetuating the relationship between technology and masculinity. Read the rest of this essay at the link below:

About Me
- Erica
- I moved to Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island from North Vancouver, British Columbia in August 2007 to attend the University of PEI. I am currently in my 4th year of my undergraduate degree, graduating with a BA in Women's Studies and an English minor in December 2009. After graduation I hope to travel Europe extensively for a few months, and then return to Vancouver where I hope to work in women's shelters and centres for individuals struggling with addiction and homelessness. I am currently the chair of the UPEI Women's Studies Society (please visit our blog!), and will be assisting in organising UPEI's first ever Women's Studies Conference in October of 2009. Contact me for more information if interested in speaking at or attending the conference! Thanks for visiting my blog! Enjoy :)
