Gender issues in user interfaces
author: Corrina Bath, University of Vienna
Description
Most areas of the computing sciences consider themselves to be either gender neutral or they aim at acknowledging physiologically-based differences between women and men. While the first standpoint draws on the traditional ideal of science as a rational, objective and value-free project, the second one does not refer to gender, but to sex differences – a general tendency that is supported by recent interpretations of brain research in popular media
