The gender and gendering of ICTpractices in families - preliminary results from a Nordic project

This paper reports findings from a Nordic study that looks at how conventions and moralities of ICT practices are embedded in and outcomes of everyday life family practices. The project’s overall research aim is to provide new knowledge on how and to what extent gender plays a part in ICT-use in everyday life. The paper will discuss results from the ethnographic data on ICT practices in families with boys and girls in late primary school. The aim is to address and discuss how attitudes toward use, regulation and morality of ICT are affected by gender and the gendering of contexts.
