Gender Bodies & Technology listserv: Please visit our website which includes an archive of the 2010 conference [which looks as though it must have been extremely interesting]:

We invite you to join the listserv which serves as a place to share about
new works, publications and art exhibitions, as well as circulate relevant
calls for papers and job postings. The list is also an opportunity to
network with other scholars in this area of research and to build a sense of
community among those of us that otherwise might not cross paths due to our
own disciplinary locations. We are also in the process of drafting a call
for papers for a 2012 conference, details of which will be forthcoming.

Also, please feel free to forward this invitation and subscription
instructions to folks (or other relevant listservs) that you know who might
be interested in joining the list:
