Annalee and I just did an interview for the world-renowned Bat Segundo Show about She’s Such A Geek:
Subjects Discussed: The gender divide in science and technology, whether empirical accounts can raise public awareness, present historical perceptions of gender in relation to past perceptions, female stereotypes, positive cultural portrayals of women, Trinity from The Matrix, Scarlett Thomas, the relationship between underground and mainstream culture, prognosticating gender roles, macho sentiment in the workplace, geek answer syndrome, sexual roles, jiggly breasts and video games, Ghost Rider, gender presentation vs. work performance, dress code, the “lawyer situation,” unisex possibilities, responding to Olivia Boler’s review, and the nature of geek.
Check it out!
sorry this is unrelated:
I’ve now just bought your book (sorry it took me so long) so does that mean you guys might come over to the UK and do a signing? would love to get the book signed and meet some of you. let me know if I can do anything through my university to help out….
We would love to come to the UK and do a signing. I used to live there, and still have friends there. Annalee does go there occasionally to interview sources. But yeah, it would be a huge, massive help if you could get your university to come up with some money to bring us over. If your university covered our plane tickets, I bet we’d be over there like a shot!
Let me see what I can do, it may take a few weeks (i’m making up for 3 weeks sick leave so I’m really busy at the mo’) but I’ll get back to you with my results…..
