Thanks, Alicia ________ Gendered Social Computing, Social Media, and Virtual Spaces A Parallel Session at the 20thAnnual Human-Computer Interaction International Conference Las Vegas, NV July 15-20 2018 Scope of Parallel Session The ways in which men and women engage with others vary by social media site, and each gender engages with social media platforms differently. Studies have found that information systems research is gendered by using a critical feminist lens to review the literature. Other studies found that the language used and the ways in which men and women engage with technology are different. This parallel session on gendered social computing, social media, and virtual spaces seeks to continue the conversation.
