Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- User participation in information systems development is often surrounded by assumptions that the resultant system will be a success, will reflect user needs, and that the process results in an empowered workforce. This paper argues that underlying these foreground rational assumptions are instrumental, politically motivated justifications driving the need to involve users.

A decade of neglect : Reflecting on gender and IS
- 2004
-
In: New technology, work and employment. - 0268-1072 .- 1468-005X. ; 19:3, s. 222-240
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This paper presents the case that research on gender and information systems (IS), from both quantitative and qualitative traditions, is problematic as the concept of gender continues to remain under-theorised. This will be elaborated upon with a critique of some recent qualitative and quantitative research papers that have been published in key IS journals within a ten-year period.

Stories about men implementing and resisting new technologies
- 2004
-
In: New Technology, Work and Employment, Blackwell Publishing, Inc.. - 0268-1072. ; 19:3, s. 192-206
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In this article the literature on masculinity, gender and technology/science provides the context for discussing two case studies where new information technology has recently been introduced. The empirical material is counter-intuitive to the general understanding that technology reflects and reinforces mens masculinity and the article provides a variety of theoretical interpretations for these findings.
