*The second Conference on Gender and IT Appropriation (***genderIT 2014): **http://genderit.wineme.fb5.uni-siegen.de/** * *May 7-9th 2014***, in: Siegen, Germany

Chair: Jennifer Rode (Drexel University), Anne Weibert (University of Siegen), Volker Wulf (University of Siegen and Fraunhofer FIT) ** Gender and IT Appropriation* /Science and Praxis in Dialogue -- Forum for Interdisciplinary Exchange/ Science has long researched the significance of gender for the appropriation and application of modern information technology. How do boys and girls, how do men and women make use of computers and modern media? What interests and needs can be recognized in this use? Are there differences, similarities or convergences? In lessons and training courses in the informatics domain, girls are and have long been underrepresented. This finding has its continuation in scientific education and on the job market, where few women engage in IT related subjects and professions. Also, they rarely take up leading positions. Consequently, the role of IT in education and work has to be further looked into. Career choices and qualification paths in the IT domain have to be investigated and possibly be developed in new and innovative ways.

*Call for Papers* Researchers and practitioners are invited to participate with contributions from their own work in the conference. Relevant topics include + gender specific aspects of IT appropriation and use + the role of the new media + gender awareness in computer science curricula and IT trainings + the relation of gender and IT in education, training and work + the significance of gender for career choices and qualification paths in the IT domain
