Description

When bringing forward discussions of gender, we tend to go into a practice of counting heads i.e. how many women are present in which functions, especially in sectors of technology and engineering. Seldom are gender issues seen as knowledge and technology generating. The presentation will illustrate what kind of value addition certain academic activities can have starting in gender related issues.
