GIL-JUAREZ, Adriana et al. From Research Using Life Stories to Social Theatre: The Gender Digital Divide Case. Univ. Psychol. [online]. 2015, vol.14, n.spe5, pp.1583-1598. ISSN 1657-9267. https://doi.org/10.11144/Javeriana.upsy14-5.imrv.
We present an Action Research program whose aim was to promote the skilful use of technology in young women to reduce the male dominance found in this sector. From Arising out of the elaboration of life stories of women studying computer science, we designed and performed a social theatre play in high schools that recreated the experiences of girls with technology. The conflicting situations were transformed in order to overcome the problems presented and to empower participating girls. We show how to test new forms of acting using Social Theatre in front of oppressing situations; we criticise the current associations between gender and technology; and, we formulate recommendations to encourage women to opt for ta technological career path.
