Gender Differences in Technology and Innovation Management : Insights from Experimental Research
Even though the number of working women has steadily increased over the last few years, women are still significantly under-represented in STEM activities (i.e. mathematics, informatics, science and technology). In order to eliminate this under-representation, numerous education policies and corporate initiatives, particularly in the recent past, have been aimed at increasing women's enthusiasm for STEM activities and professions.According to the latest surveys, however, it is clear that these efforts have not yet led to the desired success.Compared to their male counterparts, women continue to do fewer STEM activities. One possible reason for this is that relatively little is yet known about the concrete impact of the above education policies on working with innovation and technology: What are the gender differences between women and men?Is it enough to recognize these differences, or should these differences ideally not only be recognized, but also treated appropriately or even encouraged? This anthology deals with current topics in technology and innovation management against the background of these and other gender-relevant aspects.Empirical analyses and experiments in collaboration with companies from various sectors provide a sound scientific basis on which new results and findings are presented: How do women and men deal with creativity and competition?How are technologies applied and how can differences in access to technology be deduced? Answers to these and other questions help decision-makers in politics and business to proactively use the differences between women and men to motivate women to work in the STEM field and to strengthen them by acknowledging existing differences.

Gender, Design and Marketing : How Gender Drives our Perception of Design and Marketing
Product and service designers place increasing emphasis on the colour, form and appearance of what their organization offers and the language with which they describe it.Gloria Moss' erudite, sophisticated and fascinating book, guides the reader to an understanding of the way gender influences our visual perception.In this wide-ranging book the author explores design, visual aesthetics, language and communication, by drawing on an exhaustive range of primary sources of research from psychology, design, branding and communication.The lessons that emerge offer challenges to organizations both in the way in which their design and marketing is perceived by men and women, and how the make-up of their workforce may limit their ability to appreciate and address the diversity of customers' preferences.The challenge for management is to overcome these limitations and ensure that an organization's products and services mirror preferences of customers rather than those of senior managers.

Gender and Technology at Work : From Workplace Studies to Social Justice in Design
This book brings together the vast research literature about gender and technology to help designers understand what a gender perspective and a focus on intersectionality can contribute to designing information technology systems and artifacts, and to assist organizations as they work to develop work cultures that are supportive of women and marginalized genders and people.Drawing on empirical and analytical studies of women's work and technology in many parts of the world, the book addresses how to make invisible aspects of work visible; how to recognize women's skills without falling into the trap of gender stereotyping; how to engage in improving working conditions; and how to defend care of life situations and needs against a managerial logic.It addresses challenges for design, including many overlooked and undervalued aspects, such as the complexities involved in human–machine interactions, as well as the need to create safe spaces for research subjects.

What gender does the ugly gender have?
The concept of an "ugly gender" does not exist. Gender is a social construct that is not inherently tied to physical appearance or attractiveness. It is important to recognize that beauty standards are subjective and should not be used to define or categorize gender.
-
Doesn't the gender thing support gender roles?
The concept of gender is separate from the idea of gender roles. Gender refers to the social and cultural expectations and norms associated with being male, female, or non-binary, while gender roles are the specific behaviors and activities that society expects from individuals based on their gender. While the concept of gender can influence and perpetuate gender roles, it also allows for the recognition and acceptance of diverse gender identities and expressions beyond traditional roles. By understanding and challenging the construct of gender, we can work towards breaking down restrictive gender roles and promoting equality and inclusivity for all individuals.

How can one design gender-neutral clothing for the graduation ceremony?
Designing gender-neutral clothing for a graduation ceremony can be achieved by creating a uniform or dress code that is not specific to any gender. This can include options such as a simple cap and gown in neutral colors, or a specific style of outfit that is not traditionally associated with a specific gender. It's important to offer a variety of options that allow individuals to express themselves comfortably, without feeling pressured to conform to traditional gender norms. Additionally, providing clear guidelines and communication about the gender-neutral dress code can help ensure that all graduates feel included and respected.

What does gender and gender identity mean to you?
Gender and gender identity to me are about how individuals perceive and express themselves in relation to societal expectations and norms associated with being male, female, or non-binary. It is a deeply personal and complex aspect of one's identity that can influence how they navigate the world, interact with others, and understand themselves. I believe that everyone should have the freedom to define and express their gender in a way that feels authentic and true to who they are.

Television, Technology and Gender : New Platforms and New Audiences
The way we watch television is changing. While consumption of traditional broadcast television is going down, consumption of non-traditional platform television including subscription viewing, box-set series and online streaming is going up.This is the first study to consider the ways in which recent technologies of television can be understood in terms of the gendering of audiences.Taking a viewer-based approach, Sarah Arnold shows how old claims that television is a female medium are now being called into question, due to changes in the spatial practices of viewing and developments in content.Though film has commonly been characterised as 'masculine' and television 'feminine', this paradigm is now being complicated and challenged.This timely book offers important critical insight into current intersections between gender, television consumption and technology."

Border Frictions : Gender, Generation and Technology on the Frontline
How did Canadian border officers come to think of themselves as a "police of the border"?This book tells the story of the shift to law enforcement in Canadian border control.From the 1990s onward, it traces the transformation of a customs organization into a border-policing agency. Border Frictions investigates how considerable political efforts and state resources have made bordering a matter of security and trade facilitation best managed with surveillance technologies.Based on interviews with border officers, ethnographic work carried out in the vicinity of land border ports of entry and policy analysis, this book illuminates features seldom reviewed by critical border scholars.These include the fraught circulation of data, the role of unions in shaping the border policy agenda, the significance of professional socialization in the making of distinct generations of security workers and evidence of the masculinization of bordering.In a time when surveillance technologies track the mobilities of goods and people and push their control beyond and inside geopolitical borderlines, Côté-Boucher unpacks how we came to accept the idea that it is vital to deploy coercive bordering tactics at the land border. Written in a clear and engaging style, this book will appeal to students and scholars in criminology, sociology, social theory, politics, and geography and appeal to those interested in learning about the everyday reality of policing the border.

The Green Revolution : Narratives of Politics, Technology and Gender
This book reviews the Green Revolution, starting with its inception and development from the 1940s to the 1970s, and leading to what is commonly referred to as a second Green Revolution in the 2000s.Building on the historical assessment, it draws insights for contemporary policy debates and demonstrates important lessons for the here and now. ‘Green Revolution’ refers to the technical measures employed to increase food (particularly grain) production, based mainly on improved seed varieties for higher yields and pest resistance.For it to be successful the Green Revolution often required land reform, investments in irrigation and fertilizer supply that were not available to women and marginal farmers.This book analyses three underlying principles that have guided green revolutions: the political environment in which they were set; how they contributed to both the successes and challenges the Green Revolution continues to face; and the systemic institutional barriers for access to these agricultural production advances, with a focus on how gender relations limit the inclusion of women even when they are the principle cultivators and farm managers.The book draws on experiences in Mexico, India and China, examining government policy, the role of the family farm, and key issues around the inclusion of women.In doing so, this book connects the history of the Green Revolution with contemporary policy debates on the developing world, particularly in relation to Africa and Asia, around foreign aid and agricultural research.It also specifically establishes that greater inclusivity for women and other marginalised farming communities will significantly enhance the effectiveness of these programs. Interlinking themes of development policy, gender, and agricultural research, this book will be of great interest to students and scholars of agricultural development, food security, and sustainable development, as well as policymakers and practitioners working in international aid and agri-food policies.

Trouble With Gender : Sex Facts, Gender Fictions
Sex used to rule. Now gender identity is on the throne. Sex survives as a cheap imitation of its former self: assigned at birth, on a spectrum, socially constructed, and definitely not binary.Apparently quite a few of us fall outside the categories ‘male’ and ‘female’.But gender identity is said to be universal – we all have one.Humanity used to be cleaved into two sexes, whereas now the crucial division depends on whether our gender identity aligns with our body.If it does, we are cisgender; if it does not, we are transgender.The dethroning of sex has meant the threat of execution for formerly noble words such as ‘woman’ and ‘man’. In this provocative, bold, and humane book, the philosopher Alex Byrne pushes back against the new gender revolution.Drawing on evidence from biology, psychology, anthropology and sexology, Byrne exposes the flaws in the revolutionary manifesto.The book applies the tools of philosophy, accessibly and with flair, to gender, sex, transsexuality, patriarchy, our many identities, and our true or authentic selves. The topics of Trouble with Gender are relevant to us all.This is a book for anyone who has wondered ‘Is sex binary?’, ‘Why are men and women different?’, ‘What is a woman?’ or, simply, ‘Where can I go to know more about these controversies?’ Revolutions devour their own children, and the gender revolution is no exception.Trouble with Gender joins the forefront of the counter-revolution, restoring sex to its rightful place, at the centre of what it means to be human.

Do you find gender asterisks or gender dots meaningful and necessary?
As an AI language model, I don't have personal opinions. However, I can provide information on the topic. Gender asterisks or gender dots are used to indicate non-binary or genderqueer identities, and for some individuals, they are meaningful and necessary as a way to affirm and validate their gender identity. These symbols can help to challenge the traditional binary understanding of gender and promote inclusivity. However, some people may not find them meaningful or necessary, as they may prefer other language or terminology to express their gender identity. Ultimately, the use of gender asterisks or dots is a personal choice and should be respected as part of an individual's self-identification.
