Special Issue of the
Journal of Technology Management & Innovation on“
The Gender Dimension in TechnologySpecial Issue Theme: The “Gender Dimension in Technology”
The theme proposed for this Special Issue is a novel research area which, with a few
notable exceptions (e.g. Thursby and Thursby, 2005; Link, Siegel and Bozeman, 2007)
has been little explored in the literature. While there is a wealth of studies on the
participation of women in science, especially academic science (Xie and Shauman, 2003
Smith-Doerr, 2004; Sonnert and Holton, 2006), women’s presence, identities, barriers to
entry and advancement in technology-related professions, such as technology transfer
and entrepreneurship, are only little documented.
This Special Issue aims to present to the scientific, business and policy-making
communities a concentrated and multi-faceted body of recent research, that has the
potential to raise awareness on the increasing importance of gender in technology,
broaden the current understanding of the dynamics and implications of the phenomenon,
inspire new research projects in this and related areas, and disseminate good practice.
The authors of the papers included in this Special Issue will have the opportunity to
present them at the
International Conference Triple Helix 8 (Madrid, October2010),
which will include a track on Gender and Technology.Important deadlines:
Submission of full papers: 30 December 2009
