Gender

The local-global connection in the information society: some tentative formulations around gender, development and social change (pdf 260kb)

This paper addresses the need to bridge the gap between gender equality advocates in the information and communication technology (ICT) or 'information society' arena and those who have worked on critical global governance issues other than on ICTs.

It locates development and gender in the rapidly changing global context, which in some fundamental ways is linked to new technologies.
