{"product_id":"gender-and-information-technology-mary-kirk-9781599047867","title":"Gender and Information Technology: Moving Beyond Access to Co-Create Global Partnership","description":"The exponential growth of technology and concurrent information revolution is creating a tremendous cultural shift on a global scale. However, the direction of that shift is being determined by those privileged few who participate. Women and people of color remain underrepresented as developers, users and beneficiaries of technology. Using gender as a starting point, Gender and Information Technology: Moving Beyond Access to Co-Create Global Partnership offers an interdisciplinary, social systems perspective on how shifting from a dominator social system towards a partnership system--as reflected in four primary social institutions (communication, media, education, and business)--might help us move beyond the simplistic notion of access to information technology towards partnership in co-creating a real digital revolution worldwide. This significant, compelling title defines core roots of the problem while proposing solutions in which we can all participate.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mary Kirk\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1599047861\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781599047867\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Information Science Reference\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/30\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 350\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.20h x 7.20w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2009 pg. 104","brand":"Mary Kirk","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48088620302591,"sku":"9781599047867","price":165.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1160b259-d860-47ea-b0b4-6e4821b25aa7.jpg?v=1769105768","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gender-and-information-technology-mary-kirk-9781599047867","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
