Human Factors of Computer Interface Design

Check out the new issue of the journal Interacting with Computers. It is a special issue on feminist perspectives on HCI, and many of the article titles sound very interesting. Consider one for an RAA, but plan ahead and order thought Interlibrary Loan, because Purdue doesn’t have this journal (I’m requesting it).
