ABSTRACT
Located at the intersection of feminist science and technology studies and masculinity research, masculinity and technology research explores the often-neglected relationship between masculinity and technology. This chapter maps developments in this cross-disciplinary field. The influential notion of coproduction of gender and technology is explicated, and the fruitfulness of this approach is illustrated by discussing the “case” of masculinity and digital technology. The theoretical and methodological challenges associated with the coproduction thesis are discussed, and contemporary attempts to address these are taken as point of departure for identifying promising new research directions and areas in need of theoretical refinement.
