We made it safely to Ulaanbaatar and back. A fantastic trip – read about it here. I got my interviews there; A big thank you to the women I met there who helped and participated in interviews!

Not really related to the long drive to Mongolia, but when we came back I decided to try something new, and instead of driving 250 km to work I now have only 13-14 km to drive, to Western Norway Research Institute. At WNRI I am working with research, still related to technology/ICT, but now also with eHealth, Welfare Technology and reforms in the Norwegian Health Care System. Together with colleagues I am also involved in developing a research project aiming at INSO-6-2014: Platform for ICT for Learning and Inclusion under Horizon 2020. A new experience with new and exciting projects going on, so stay tuned for ECCO, ICE and perhaps FUN CODE.

Looking for informants in Ulaanbaatar

 I am looking for women in Ulaanbaatar with a close relationship with computer technology (like students, lecturers or workers in computer science or a related field of computer technology) who would be willing to participate in an interview.

My name is Hilde G. Corneliussen and I am a researcher in Digital Culture at University of Bergen in Norway. I have been doing research on men and women’s relationships with computer technology for many years, and I am now looking for women in Ulaanbaatar who could participate in interviews in an international study called “Technicity – Exploring women’s relationship with computer technology”.

The interview will take place in Ulaanbaatar in second half of July 2013.

The interview will take about one hour. It is not a prerequisite, but a great advantage if we can do the interview in English.

Please send me an email or contact me on Facebook if you have questions or if you are interested in participating, and I’ll provide more information about the project.

 Hope to see you in Ulaanbaatar!

All photos appearing at Gender & Computing have been taken by me, unless another photographer is named.
I am an eager hobby photographer, and my husband is eager with the bird feeder just outside my home office window. This winter has been particularly cold, and we have had visits from a lot of birds that have trouble finding food elsewhere. Some of the guests are quite rare to see, like the sparrow hauk, haw finch, and the spotted woodpecker, but we also have large groups of less rare birds, like the bullfinch. Other landscape pictures appearing at this site are mainly from outside our home at Hafslo or from the mountain area at Tyin, where we have a flat and a great place to hide away to write.

On G & C the pictures are just to remind that there’s a world outside the office walls, however if you want to see more of my pictures you can visit gandrudbakken dot no.

Welcome to this new-born Gender & Computing site!

If you ever visited my blog before you might notice that this looks very different, and you won’t be able to find any of the old posts. In fact, nearly 12 years of blogging and more than 1000 posts at Gender and Computing have been discarded, never to reappear. But, like most endings, also this holds a promise of a new start. So here’s G & C in new design, although I have kept the name and the URL of the old blog. And I will still write about my research in gender and technology, about conferences and travels and colleagues. And about the expedition to Mongolia!
