Book Description
In the late 1970s, feminists urged us to "rethink" Canada by placing women's experiences at the centre of historical analysis. Forty years later, women's and gender historians continue to take up the challenge, not only to interrogate the idea of nation but also to place their work in a global perspective. This volume showcases the work of scholars who draw on critical race theory, postcolonial theory, and transnational history to re-examine familiar topics such as biography and oral history, paid and unpaid work, marriage and family, and women's political action. Taken together, these exciting new essays demonstrate the continued relevance of history informed by feminist perspectives.

Book Description
This book contains 28 research papers selected from the 140 papers presented at the Berlin conference in July 1989. They focus principally on the relationship between the design of information systems on the one hand, and the design of work processes on the other. Important normative questions that need to be addressed in this context include: Where should the (re)design process begin? Should work and organization design drive information system design, or the other way round? Perhaps they are best not separated in this way? Should an information system be designed in a way that enables people to change the distribution of tasks between themselves and the information system? How can the different interests of the various stakeholders be accommodated in an appropriate design of the socio-technical system? Who should perform what tasks in the design process? This book reports on research and experiments with design processes aimed at answering these basic questions.
