I've received a number of responses to my query below, with several suggestions for excellent resources on Gender, Information Technology, and Transnational Cultures. Thanks to those who have sent information about pertinent resources, and, to everyone, please keep sending suggestions for class readings. Several people on the listserv also have asked that I compile a list of the reading suggestions and send this to them. Please be assured that, once I compile a list of readings, I will send these to everyone via the listserv.

Hello to all,
I am in the process of searching for readings to assign in a newly-developed/developing course that I will be teaching in Spring 2012 semester. It's titled "Gender, Information Technology, and Transnational Cultures" (long title, I know, but we couldn't figure out how to shorten it). While I already have chosen several important readings for the course, I'd like to take advantage of the expertise of members of this list in case you have suggestions for other pertinent readings. Although there will be a few readings on gender and IT in general, the focus really is on gender and ICTs. After conducting a search, I don't think that it will be possible to choose a primary text that is capable of capturing the breadth of this course, but, if you have suggestions for one, I also would appreciate hearing from you.
[By the way, the course is cross-listed for junior and senior undergraduate students and graduate students in Media Studies and Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies.]
Thanks and all the best,
Lisa
