“…It may also be true of minority women's experience using digital cameras or camera phones. The history of digital camera design and development suggests that women with darker complexions (frequently minority women) will have poorer quality self-portraits when compared to women with lighter skin tones (Roth, 2013). Therefore, the design of many digital cameras and camera phones disadvantages minority women ICT users.…”

There is room for topical and theoretical expansion in the literature on gender and ICT4D (information and communications technologies for development) to better prepare critiques and policy applications that improve gender equity. A constructivist approach was taken to understand the relationship between gender and technology utilizing insights from science and technology studies. Existing theory on the relationship between gender and technology was conceptualized as three categories: women using ICTs as laborers, women using ICTs for leisure, and ICTs as infrastructure impacting women.Thirty articles from four journals (Gender, Technology, and

“…Implicit user identity bias occurs when any design team (even one diverse in composition) utilizes blind inclusion where there is naïve (or no) attention to gender, age, class, race, or other components of user identity in design (Pierce 2009). For example, early photography equipment and computer video camera designs demonstrate inattention to lighting for dark skin tones (Roth 2013). The privileged user problem creates technology non-users (Winner 1980;Wyatt 2003) and non-artifacts.…”

“…Socio-technical governance today produces inequality: extreme wealth inequality between CEOs versus consumers (Peetz 2015); design inequality between white men and other social identities using information and communications devices (Oudshoorn, Rommes and Stienstra 2004;Pierce 2009;Roth 2013); health inequality between white men and other social identities with medical care needs (Read and Gorman 2010;Hoffman et al 2016). Unfortunately, inequality in science and technology further disadvantages marginalized people.…”

Socio-technical governance has been of long-standing interest to science and technology studies and science policy studies. Recent calls for midstream modulation direct attention to a more complicated model of innovation, and a new place for social scientists to intervene in research, design and development. This paper develops and expands this earlier work to demonstrate how a suite of concepts from science and technology studies and innovation studies can be used as a heuristic tool to conduct realtime evaluation and reflection during the process of innovation -upstream, midstream, and downstream. The result of this new protocol is inclusivity mainstreaming: determining if, and how, marginalized peoples (and perspectives) are being maximally incorporated into the model of innovation, while highlighting common problems of inequality that need to be addressed.
