Tenets: Concern with materiality (bodies, labor, not just virtual and discursive). Examining how gender, intersecting with other social categories, structures our lives, learning, and knowledge production, access to resources and information. Examining (dis)embodiment in virtual teaching/learning.
Annotation: This book is a feminist media history that examines the ways that we use to count, measure, and quanitify our lives. Using feminist theories and media studies, the author examines the long history of human quantification and its intersection with inequality.
