520 In Feminist and Queer Information Studies Reader, Keilty
and Dean put the field of Information Studies into
critical conversation with studies of gender, sexuality,
race, and technology. In classic and original essays,
renowned scholars from a range of disciplines think
through a broad array of information and technology
philosophies and practices. Conceiving of "information" in
a broad sense, the contributors reevaluate conventional
methods and topics within Information Studies to examine
encounters with information phenomena and technology that
do not lend themselves easily to the scientific and
behaviorist modes of description that have long dominated
the field. A Foreword, Introduction, and Afterword provide
helpful context to the reader's 27 essays, arranged around
topics that include information as gendered labor, cyborgs
and cyberfeminism, online environments, information
organization, information extraction and flow, archives,
and performance.
