Situated Knowledge
Feminist Perspectives and Technological Transformation
The feminist perspective on situated knowledge examines its influence on the social configuration of technology and addresses gender inequalities
This approach allows us to examine how specific gender experiences and perspectives impact the creation, development, and use of technological tools. By considering how knowledge is produced and applied in diverse social, cultural, and political environments, we can identify and challenge the underlying power structures that perpetuate gender exclusion and discrimination in the technological sphere.
Feminism, Epistemology, and Social Responsibility
The feminist perspective of situated knowledge challenges social injustices by fusing knowledge and action against patriarchy and colonialism. It highlights the equitable distribution of knowledge and the inclusion of women in science and technology to promote equitable knowledge-construction processes.
Perspectives for Inclusive Technology
As a sociotechnical product, technology reflects and perpetuates gender power relations, manifested in the low representation of women in key technological roles. Including women involves challenging hegemonic masculinity and transforming technological work toward gender equality and diversity.
Technology as a Tool for Social Transformation
Technology is essential to society, but its development can ignore important perspectives, such as women's, resulting in an incomplete technological construction. For a fair digital society, it is necessary to address gender stereotypes and promote women's inclusion in technology.
