<br>
<br>Feminist Technoscience Studies (FTS) has been defined as a
<br>“trandisciplinary field” (Åsberg & Lykke, 2010) as it merges social
<br>studies of science and technology and the multiple critical intellectual
<br>legacies of feminist critique. It shares sensibilities concerned with
<br>how to enact silence, give voice to the traditionally invisible,
<br>interrogate boundaries, uncover local and marginal positions enacted by
<br>technoscientific practices. In this respect, a growing body of research
<br>at the intersection of STS and digital technologies (Vertesi and Ribes
<br>2019) invites to disentangle the relations between humans and
<br>computational machines through feminist sensibilities. As a matter of
<br>fact, recent analyses concerning sites and practices shaped by digital
<br>technologies have investigated the ways through which they are biased in
<br>terms of gender, sex, labor, class, ethnicity, (dis)ability. These
<br>perspectives allow to see, for example: how health-related applications,
<br>wearable devices – that offer new possibilities for monitoring,
<br>measuring and visualizing bodily and everyday wellbeing – are interwoven
<br>in our experience of embodiment, contributing to reconfigure our meaning
<br>of body (Sumartojo et al. 2016); how medical models and social norms,
<br>inscribed in the materiality of digital technologies, provide the body
<br>on the dichotomy male/female (Clarke et al. 2010); how the contribution
<br>of female work to the development of computing has been underrecognized
<br>or neglected (Hicks 2017); how gender issues are embedded within
<br>computing cultures (Dunbar-Hester 2019); how negative biases against
<br>women of color are embedded in search engine results and algorithms
<br>(Noble 2018); how users of commercial platforms are socially and
<br>creatively engaged, but also labourers exploited by the web companies
<br>(Jarrett 2015).
<br>This track invites contributions that make empirical and theoretical
<br>reflections to the site of digital feminist technoscience, which may
<br>include (but are not limited to):
<br>• technoscientific practices and genderization of digital spaces;
<br>• digital technologies and embodied knowledge;
<br>• women’s contribution to the development of computing;
<br>• emotional labor and care work on digital platforms;
<br>• gender, race, sexuality and computing practices (e.g. robotics,
<br>machine learning, programming);
<br>• digital technologies and social innovation;
<br>• feminist methods and digital technologies.
