Please join us to celebrate the release of Eve Shapiro's first book: Gender Circuits: Bodies and Identities in a Technological Age. We will toast its completion and hear
excerpts from this new work exploring the intersections of gender and technology.

Gender Circuits explores the impact of new technologies on the gendered lives of individuals. Examining the complex intersections between gender ideologies, social scripts, information and biomedical technologies, and embodied identities, this book explores whether and
how new technologies are reshaping what it means to be a gendered person in contemporary society.

Dr. Eve Shapiro is assistant professor of sociology at Westfield State College. Her current research elaborates the dynamic relationships between identity and community, including how new information and biomedical technologies are changing the gendered lives of cisgender and transgender people.

This event is cosponsored by the UMass Stonewall Center, Food for Thought Books, the Massachusetts Transgender Political Coalition and the Department of Sociology at Westfield State College.
