Deconstructing sociotechnical identity in maker cultures
2018
Proceedings of the 4th Conference on Gender & IT - GenderIT '18
In this paper we argue that Makers engage in various degrees of sociotechnical identity formation. We explore the role of gender in maker identity formation and how the masculine characteristics of maker spaces create challenges for feminine identity construction and expression. Our ethnographic study of German computer clubs indicated that children as Makers synthesize gender and technical identities within the context of STEAM skill building activities.
