I am a senior at Rice University majoring in Computer Science and Gender Studies. I am interested in the intersection between technology and society, particularly about how humans wish to relate and interact with technology.
Here are the WikiProjects I've joined:

The “gender digital divide” refers to gender biases in technology and digital skills/education. Similar to my first choice, I feel strongly about this topic because technology holds great power in perpetuating social, political, and economic matters. I believe that one component of "responsible technology" is one that accounts for gender biases and inequalities, and I hope that technology can be leveraged to fight these issues. Here are the references I will use:
