Is computing just for men? Are men and women suited to different
careers? This collection of global perspectives challenges these
commonly held western views, perpetuated as explanations for
women's low participation in computing. By providing an insider
look at how different cultures worldwide impact the experiences of
women in computing, the book introduces readers to theories and
evidence that support the need to turn to environmental factors,
rather than innate potential, to understand what determines women's
participation in this growing field. This wakeup call to examine
the obstacles and catalysts within various cultures and
environments will help those interested in improving the situation
understand where they might look to make changes that could impact
women's participation in their classrooms, companies, and
administrations. Computer scientists, STEM educators, students of
all disciplines, professionals in the tech industry, leaders in
gender equity, anthropologists, and policy makers will all benefit
from reading this book.
