Women remain significantly underrepresented in leadership within the information technology (IT) sector. Empirical studies indicate that they occupy roughly 18% of leadership positions in IT globally. Despite growing interest in gender equity in STEM, limited attention has been given to the psychological and institutional factors that shape women’s motivation to pursue leadership roles in IT […]

Education and science are foundational to international development, yet gender inequities in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) persist globally. While these disparities are widespread, most research and discourse on gender in STEM originates from the Global North. This edited collection amplifies contributions from the Global South, presenting twelve case studies supported by Canada’s International
Feminist Human-Computer Interaction defines six qualities of interaction: Advocacy, Self-disclosure, Embodiment, Ecology, Participation and Pluralism. Related studies indicate that these qualities are rarely included explicitly in scientific or practical investigations. Furthermore, there is no defined methodology for designing or assessing these qualities in HCI. This work presents the results of a study to integrate the
