Hi Joe, Funny that you asked about this today - just hours ago I ran across a resource on this topic from the International Finance Corporation/World Bank: Engendering ICT Toolkit You can find it at: http://web.worldbank.org/WBSITE/EXTERNAL/TOPICS/EXTGENDER/EXTICTTOOLKIT/0,,menuPK:542826~pagePK:64168427~piPK:64168435~theSitePK:542820,00.html

I am a doctoral student at St. Joseph's University in Philadelphia, PA and I am in the preliminary stages of preparing my dissertation research proposal. The topic that interests me is the digital divide that exists between the genders. For example, in the high school that I currently teach, advanced computer courses are male dominated while application type courses such as word processing and desktop publishing is heavily female. I am sure that attitude, perception, and other factors influence this great discrepancy, but as Robin Kay puts it, this area of study is ripe for theory building. My question for the academy is twofold. First, who, in your estimation, are the seminal authors in the gender divide that I should investigate. Second, can you suggest anything that might lend focus to my study. I would appreciate any and all help.
